Superb article! There has been much speculation and little fact offered on this story, with some exceptions of course. This article is perhaps the most exhaustively researched and sourced, and the most damning.
One thing, the “Little Venice” story has been reviewed and discussed in the past on conservative blogs. If I’m not mistaken, Powerline did a couple of articles on it. One of them they actually located a place that had that name, among others, and canals that went through the town. Waist deep? Perhaps, but not sewers and not choked with sewage either. I wouldn’t drink the water myself, but I live in the south and we don’t drink the water here either.
