Forest Service officials knowingly used faulty data of spotted owl habitat to block logging in a California forest, according to court documents obtained by The Washington Times.

The Forest Service did not have a "rational basis" for halting the timber sale to Wetsel-Oviatt Lumber Company, said the previously undisclosed ruling by Federal Claims Court Judge Lawrence S. Margolis.

The Washington Times has been following all this enviro-junk science really closely.

Thanks, Washington Times. Without your publication, hardly anyone would ever know about this crap.

Sadly, no. They don't bike up here to PA either.

I wish.

I suspect the Wash Times is aware of us over at FR. I just wish more of us at FR were posting to this thread.

When I originally read this article at the Wash Times website earlier, I came right over to FR because I knew it would be posted...

But even FReepers don't seem to be interested in violations of their property rights by the enviro-nazis today.

The funny thing is that everyone who had half a brain recognized the whole spotted thing as bogus. Thank goodness there's an administration that isn't keeping this crap covered up...

Like many here, I have long suspected that much of the Enviro, Eco, etc., data was fraudulent skewed, or selectively presented, to further their agendas.

"...arbitrary, capricious, and without rational basis..."

How unlike what we have come to expect from government policies!(sarcasm off)

Here's a thought. Let's dispense with the false and totalitarian concept of "The King's Land", get the government out of the business of property management, get them out of the business of telling us what we can do on our own property, and generally flipping them the Most Un-Endangered Bird they've ever seen.

I'm just in one of those moods today.

I'm impressed that the print media actually ran this story. Usually these stories only make it on-line.

I would be more impressed if the Biased Left Wing Media (New York Times, Washington Post) would run this story. Strike the impressed, I meant to say I would be shocked and disorientated instead of impressed. The Biased Left Wing Media is a big sponsor of the enviro-wackos. They would not dare print a negative story about them, it doesn’t fit their agenda.

PS What's the HTML code to draw a line through a word?

Never trust a liberal-environmentalist, civil rights, or anything to do with the left.

If we did that, then what would the government give the U.N. to do in this country?

Lie about spotted owls or "wild" coho salmon and pay for it out of money set aside for NPR, NEA, or any number of federally funded Gay/Lesbian/illegal immigrant/etc. support programs.

Why not prosecute the people who lied? Surely some midlevel bureaucrat had to sign a piece of paper authorizing the cancellation of contracts. Punish this person with prison time, demotion, or fines. There had to be a clear violation of the law or there wouldn’t be these huge settlements to the logging industry. I am tired of our government wasting our money.

Why not pass laws that make bureaucrats liable for their decisions?
