The Wrack

If youre a clean water junkie like me, this weeks response by the EPA to the mine wastewater spill into Colorados Animas River  that their own contractors inadvertently caused? is a fascinating and sad event to watch from the sidelines.

The daily updates on the EPAs website are quite good and informative? nice transparency and responsiveness by the agency so far. (I wonder if there was a pre-written Disaster Response Plan.)

Critics are legion, however, particularly on the anti-government / right-wing side.

I think this is a great example of people seeing what they want to see and how opposing camps deliver their storytelling in real time.
