Interesting- I wonder how much more of these types of shenanigans have been perpetrated by the commie leftist wacko environmentalists? I have a feeling that a lot of our evironmental policies are based on fraudulent data such as what is mentioned in the article- but I suppose we here at FR already knew that.

My guess is that most of the enviro regulations are based on junk science.

I was researching the arsenic rules, last summer because our local paper was making a big deal of the Democrat claim that Bush was trying to poison the children by not lowering the arsenic percentage. I found this great website with all these studies that showed that arsenic and selenium were related, in that one cancelled out the other (it's more complicated than that). But when Bush passed the Clinton standard in October, I went back to the website and the finished report had deleted all the studies which showed that arsenic was not really poisonous as long as selenium was also present (it usually is because they are both found in areas of former volcanic activity). And to make matters worse, the author of the bogus study was put in charge of inacting the arsenic rules.

In New Mexico they wanted to shut down old, poor mexicans, indians and whoever from getting firewood from a national forest. I think they( the environazies ) invented the "Mexican" spotted owl. It was so rare and endangered it was never seen. Perfect. Later the owls were seen building nest downtown in lamposts, a/c ducts ect. Kida like pigions. You know come to think of it, the lot next door isn't mine but it is vacant. Hum, maybe I'll report seeing jackalopes eating there at dawn.
