U.S. Lifts Longtime Drilling Ban on Alaskan Wildlife Habitat

"The Department of Interior on Wednesday approved oil and gas drilling on Alaska land considered such sensitive wildlife habitat that it was first protected by former Interior Secretary James G. Watt under President Reagan, and by four Interior secretaries since.

The decision — decried by Native American, hunting and environmental groups — comes just weeks after the U.S. Senate rejected drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, about 200 miles to the east.

Bureau of Land Management staff said the decision was made after three years of study and in response to requests by Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force."

Some of you Bush apologists want to explain how this entire goddamn administration isn't one big pile of scum, again?

After all of our efforts to preserve the wildlife on this planet, no matter how many petitions you sign, how many marches you attend, and how many donations you make it always seems the insensitive smegma always win their way.
Makes me sick.
