I wonder if many of the members of ELF are government forest service and DNR personel during the day?

I wonder if Ashcroft will investigate? It's like Al Qaeda getting jobs with the airlines.

These eco terrorists bastards should be tried in civil courts. They and their bosses should lose everything they own.

Then do a back ground check to see what enviral eco terrorists organizations they are card carrying members of. See if any money went from the enviral agencies to these eco terrorist criminals. If so, then criminal trial all around and civil trial for the enviral top liars!

You have to wonder how much of this cr*p is done by these criminals/eco terrorists and has been done!

Talking to people in California, whom are being set up for the Red Legged Frog ESA, this is probably a strategy.

A friend was told that he could not put seasonal sand bags by a season creek (flow only in the winter/early spring) to prevent his office space from being flooded if there was a flood.

The federal and state fish and game eco terrorists told him and other office owners: "We know that you have documented there is no present or historical traces of the red legged frog ever being on this creek's watershed. However, it looks like a winter/spring watershed the Red Legged frog might have like or may like to live in. So you can not put out sand bags during the winter and spring to prevent flooding!"

The employees have been counseled for their actions

Not arrested? Not fired? What gives?

=================

Well, of course they weren't arrested and/or fired!

(sarcasm:) 1) Just the fact that they were found out and shamed before their fellow employees is punishment enough. That's why they were counseled for their actions. To wit:

"Now you know that wasn't right..What you did was not only against the law it was wrong...No, the other employees don't hate you. You just have to remember that there are those who don't understand or share your enthusium..."

2) They have a very tough union and tougher supporters (ELF, ACLU, Greenpeace, etc.)

Maybe it goes sometihing like this...

You know I love that organic cooking
I always ask for more
And they call me Mr. Natural
On down to the health food store
I only eat good sea salt
White sugar don't touch my lips
And my friends is always
Begging me to take them
On macrobiotic trips
Yes, they are

Oh, but at night I stake out my strongbox
That I keep under lock and key
And I take it off to my closet
Where nobody else can see
I open that door so slowly
Take a peek up north and south
Then I pull out a Hostess Twinkie
And I pop it in my mouth

Yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me
Well, at lunchtime
You can always find me
At the Whole Earth Vitamin Bar
Just sucking on my plain white yogurt
From my hand thrown pottery jar
And sippin' a little hand pressed cider
With a carrot stick for dessert
And wiping my face In a natural way
On the sleeve of my peasant shirt
Oh yeah

Ah, but when that clock strikes midnight
And I'm all by myself
I work that combination
On my secret hideaway shelf
And I pull out some Fritos corn chips
Dr. Pepper and an Ole Moon Pie
Then I sit back in glorious expectation
Of a genuine junk food high

Oh yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me
My friends down at the commune
They think I'm pretty neat
Oh, I don't know nothing about arts and crafts
But I give 'em all something to eat
I'm a friend to old Euell Gibbons
And I only eat homegrown spice
I got a John Keats autographed Grecian urn
Filled up with my brown rice
Yes, I do

Oh, but folks lately I have been spotted
With a Big Mac on my breath
Stumbling into a Colonel Sanders
With a face as white as death
I'm afraid someday they'll find me
Just stretched out on my bed
With a handful of Pringles Potato Chips
And a Ding Dong by my head

In the daytime I'm Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me

The lynx listing and habitat study began in 1999 during the Clinton administration and concludes this year
His legacy continues to grow

Yeah, but this time it was caught, so it is hoped that the eco-freaks won't get away with it this time. I'd love for Pres. Bush to rescind the order creating the National preserve at Grand Escalante. Clinton created it to prop up his friend James Riady's investments in soft coal, since the only other large deposits outside of those owned by Riady were UNDER that national preserve.

These individuals should not just be fired. They committed a criminal act.

Thank you. This is worthy of repeat.
There should be legal repercussions for this outrage.

These people involved should be arrested and charged for falsifying data and causing the misuse of government funds. How many millions of tax dollars have been wasted on this study that is based on false data.

By the way, a nice early Christmas present. The Washington Post is raising their newspaper price by a dime because advertising revenues have decreased. Pity. Hopefully the price increase will drive down sales which will further drive down advertising revenue.

One of the great benefits of living in southern Maryland is home delivery of the Washington Times!

I just emailed this to Fox News.

There is an interesting story in today's Washington Times. A thread discussing this issue can be found at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/592026/posts, "Rare lynx hairs found in forest exposed as hoax".
Please consider covering this news story as it does not appear to be getting much coverage from the other news organizations.

Anyone care to join me in attempting to get more coverage? Email your comments to: comments@foxnews.com

Why aren't they being prosecuted? They were trying to falsely deprive their fellow-citizens of the free and fair use of public lands, probably for the sake of getting more grants, i.e. for their own financial gain.

Fire 'em, prosecute 'em, incarcerate 'em. And start investigating the rest of the professional eco-frauds.

Could Congress do anything? Should we contact our Congresscritters?

Maybe everyone who lost a logging/mining/recreation type job could start a class-action lawsuit?

The left must have infiltrated the eco departments, just as the KKK and other Nazi groups infiltrated the ATF and FBI, remember the retreat and party stories a number of years back.
