"In the 250-page book, Tamminen argues these companies are perpetrating frauds similar to the tobacco industry by employing hired-gun experts and front groups to fight regulation and sidestep the health and environmental costs they impose on society. These two industries, he argues, are deserving of the same forceful litigation and taxation that has successfully reduced smoking rates in the past decade."

And to think I grew up admirering hired guns...(/sarc)

"Terry Tamminen: He argues in his new book
that the oil and auto industries should be sued
for perpetrating fraud."
