Federal Judge Blocks Bush Logging Plan

Our nations environmentally sensitive president has seen his administration's plan to log the Giant Sequoia National Monument shutdown by a federal judge. The judge's decision described the Forest Services effort to log the preserve with this quote: "The Forest Service's interest in harvesting timber has trampled the applicable environmental laws," calling the agency's forest management plan "incomprehensible." The logging was to commence under the guise of "fire prevention" but would have gone well beyond the logging of smaller trees needed for protection of the majestic sequoias.

Incomprehensible is as good an adjective as any to describe much of what is going on in the Bush administrtation of late.
