Bush budget cuts closing EPA libraries. Yup- if you can't read it, it can't hurt you. You didn't know that?

I swear, sometimes China seems like a more open society that the US.

"The libraries provide documentation for enforcement cases and help EPA staff track new environmental technologies and the health risks associated with dangerous chemicals. They also are repositories of scientific information that is used to back up the agency's position on new regulations and environmental reports and data that are tapped by everyone from developers to airports, to state and local officials. Their collections include hard-to-find copies of documents on federal Superfund hazardous waste sites, water-quality data and the health of regional ecosystems."
