It is at odds with her dogged efforts to challenge Bush's EPA on their cover-up of the toxins in New York's air resulting from the collapse of the towers.

but for this article:

Wrong -- she supported only the TEST

This article deeply troubled me until I looked further. When I read the letter which the supposedly demonstrates Clinton's willingness to "sacrifice" children on the altar of her "desperate" "ambition," I found only her support for a two-week TEST, NOT for final approval.

Bloomberg.com reports a statement from her office that she "takes seriously the outstanding questions about the environmental impacts, and believes that the two-week test will provide the information needed to answer those questions."

She was right... it did. The test failed, and from what I can tell she appropriately dropped her support given the evidence. I supect that one failed test will do far more to halt tireburning plans around the nation than all the efforts to prevent the test.

Action based on evidence -- makes sense to me. Isn't that we want Americans to do in the face of global warming? Obama has done far greater damage with his support of the horrendous 2005 energy bill, which Clinton opposed. The real poison here is in the hyperbole of this article.
