Bush Kisses Another Corporate Ass

[volosong]

Good God, no living creature is safe from the scourge of Bush and his Toxic Cabinet.

Bush is even willing to see dolphins slaughtered in the name of profits for the commercial fishing industry. But, a federal judge to the rescue:


In a victory for environmentalists, a federal judge has ruled that the Bush administration cannot change the standards commercial fisheries must meet before the tuna they catch can carry the "dolphin-safe" label.

"U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson found that Commerce Secretary Donald Evans not only failed to conduct the scientific research required to relax existing tuna-labeling laws, but engaged in "a pattern of delay and inattention" to build support for his position...."

"Judge Henderson's ruling exposes the Bush administration's deceit in ignoring its own scientists and caving into Mexican demands to allow dolphin-deadly tuna back into the U.S. with a phony label," said Earth Island Institute director David Phillips, whose group was one of the plaintiffs in the suit against Evans..."

so Barney can take a few bites out of them.
