Today, the U.S. National Central Bureau (INTERPOL Washington) is hosting its first U.S. Interagency Environmental Crime Meeting. INTERPOL’s General Secretariat and INTERPOL Washington partnered in this effort to bring together approximately 35 representatives from federal agencies to discuss ways to foster communication and identify opportunities to enhance international cooperation and participation in combating environmental crime.
“I am quite pleased that INTERPOL Washington and INTERPOL’s General Secretariat have partnered in this great effort to build partnerships with federal agencies that have a strong focus in protecting our environment. I hope this meeting today will be the first of many as we all work collaboratively to prevent crimes that can have a detrimental effect on our environment both nationally and internationally,” stated INTERPOL Washington Director Timothy Williams.
Environmental crime is any breach of a national or international environmental law or treaty that exists to ensure the conservation and sustainability of the world’s environment, biodiversity, or natural resources. Examples of this type of crime include poaching and trafficking of wildlife and the illegal emission of pollutants into waterways or the air.

Interpol could be shaping up to be Algore's own little army of enivro-Brownshirts. Another hot area of Interpol interest: so-called war crimes (our military members in Iraq and Afghanistan are prime targets of such prosecutorial overreach).
What Obama has done is give Interpol unfettered freedom to investigate the lives and businesses of US citizens in the United States in complete and utter secrecy. We're not allowed to know what methods were used or what information was collected. And Interpol is free to turn over the information to any other country or international tribunal such as the International Criminal Court for prosecution that can allege that a treaty or law was broken.
