Reflections from the Publisher: Thumbs Down

Thumbs Down: This goes to the U.S. Army and its Chemical Materials Agency for their admission of guilt in transpoting VX nerve agent byproducts across state borders to Port Arthur, Texas, which is illegal.

Locally, CWWG member Elizabeth Crowe had this to say, "Shipping the material to the Port Arthur community is exactly what the principles of environmental justice and the president's executive order were meant to prevent. Yet, our own government, our own military, sworn to protect all Americans, is consciously violating these principles."

Makes you wonder what else they are doing illegally, doesn't it?
