But isn't that the complaint about this report? When it's pointed out that it means nothing and has no specific policy recommendations, the rejoinder is that it provides ammo to the enviros. If we shouldn't worry about what the Left will do, then who cares?
This report was botched in its handling. If we don't take the initiative and agressively make our case, without apology, then we get hammered without answer, or are perpetually on the defensive.
I'm not saying "don't worry about the Left," I'm saying we shouldn't let that concern make us timid. Our fear empowers them.
