All year long, we've been worried that last minute plans by the Bush Administration
that would undermine the integrity of the Endangered Species Act.

determining if new mining, logging and construction projects pose a threat to endangered animals.
What this really means is that political appointees, not scientists, will determine what poses a risk
to endangered animals.
