cheney's chernobyl

This really great post over at CROOKS AND LIARS outlines the path to the disaster we see unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. When it happened and halliburton was involved, I wondered, oh my god!!! they were probably hydralic fracturing down there. This piece outlines how they got us to where we are now. Their reckless disregard for all of our water and specifically safe drinking water will be on diplay for their children and grandchildren to experience for as far as the eye can see.

We must end barbaric extraction now!

No significant impact, indeed.
