docwebsterU.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?

Date: 2006-01-12 08:40 pm (UTC)That they're larcenous scum just means that they're no different from any other administration, even the "best" of which (over the past century or so) still took a fifth or sixth of everything Americans produced in a year. Why worry about a few animals when they're making a war and killing people?
Trust them? Not hardly. I don't trust them as far as I can throw a cheesecake under water. But this is among the least of their offenses. I'm far more concerned with hundreds of billions of dollars in unconstitutional spending and thousands of American soldiers (and at least tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians) dead in an unconstitutional war. Caribou and geese be damned.
