There are several good reasons to protect 40,000 acres of New Mexico's Carson National Forest from gas exploration... Once again, the Bush administration ignored the best science of its own...a political agenda blurred environmental science and the proper workings of federal agencies...The real message seems to be that state and local governments have an important voice on national forests, but only when they're saying, 'Drill!
