what kind of environment will we have left after we finally get these polluters out of office? Bush opens gates to more logging THE BUSH administration has effectively scrapped a national policy for protecting 59 million acres of roadless areas in our national forests. It was clear all along that the Bush White House was eager to find a way around the Clinton administration's executive order to keep roads -- and thus logging -- out of those untrammeled areas. The Bush administration has been steadily chipping away at the protections -- such as its decision last year to exempt Alaska's Tongass National Forest from the rule. On Monday, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman announced the administration's new approach. In a remarkable display of doublespeak, Veneman with a straight face spoke of the president's commitment to "cooperatively conserving roadless areas in national forests." sfgate.com
