DMA, Thanks for the follow up. I came away with this as the most important part of the text: <Snip> Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., speaking for the minority, said he took issue with suggestions that the incident was "the tip of the iceberg" and that scientists routinely attempt to skew the surveys they are working on. He said investigators found no evidence this was a common occurrence. "Wildlife biologists nationwide live by a code of ethics," Inslee said. Those involved in the lynx study were merely trying to assure the lab wasn't getting any "false positives," he added. Inslee said the incident should not provoke any changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA). He also questioned why the allegations would warrant four separate investigations, when federal failures to enforce environmental laws don't generate any outrage from Congress. So do I. Again, compared with the Enron outrages, this seems like real small beer. -Ray
