NYT Editorial: Troubled Oceans
"Five years have elapsed since the Pew Oceans Commission’s seminal report urging prompt action to arrest the alarming decline of this country’s ocean resources. Four years have elapsed since a blue-ribbon presidential commission said much the same thing, urging special attention to problems like overfishing and the deterioration of coastal wetlands and estuaries. Despite an occasional burst of energy, however, the Bush administration and Congress have left much to be done. And time is running out."Posted by Ian Alterman, Saturday, May 31, 2008

NYT: Texas Loses Court Ruling Over Taking of Children
And it's about time! No one is suggesting that there are not some questionable practices occurring at the compound. But the State of Texas WILDLY overreacted by simply removing ALL the children; separating them from their families, and moving them to temporary foster homes hundreds of miles away - sometimes separating siblings. What has been left unspoken is that the quasi-terrorist tactics used by the State of Texas may actually have caused GREATER damage to these children than if they had simply been left where they were, and removed individually if and when actual physical or other abuse was strongly suspected or proven in individual cases.Posted by Ian Alterman, Friday, May 30, 2008
