What Bush was busying himself with while we were all being shocked and awed.

The Bush administration is quietly raping reshaping environmental policy to expand logging and other development by settling a series of lawsuits, many of them filed by industry groups.

As a result of settlements, the administration has announced plans to remove wilderness protections for millions of acres in Utah, has agreed to review protections for endangered species such as salmon and the northern spotted owl, has reversed a Clinton-era ban on snowmobiles in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks and has softened rules on logging.

None of the decisions were subject to prior public comment or congressional approval.



Eight years down the drain. This is why I'm a democrat. I'd like there to be a little something left for my grandchildren. Republicans do nothing but rape, pillage, and usurp, with no regard for the future generations. They have no respect for the earth, only what they can glean from it to line their own pockets.
