EPA lawyers silenced – Terrorists rights protected
It is a troubling time in America when extending Constitutional protections to the confessed 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and the first amendment rights of Nalid Malik Hasan, a deranged Islamic jihadist with known ties to Al Qaeda, now charged for murdering 13 at Ft. Hood, Texas, are protected, but employees at the Environmental Protection Agency are silenced.
A couple of months ago, the EPA muzzled Alan Carlin, a senior analyst and 35 year veteran of the agency, for releasing a 98 page report that basically said the agency should take another look at climate change. Now the agency has ordered two of their lawyers to take down a self produced video “A Huge Mistake” placed on their own independent website that says cap-and –trade, and specifically the House bill known as Waxman-Markey, is “fatally flawed.”
Laurie Williams and Allan Zabel aren’t exactly climate change radical “deniers.” They advocate addressing the threat of global warming, promote renewable energy, and favor fees on carbon emissions. They each have over 20 years of service at the EPA’s San Francisco Regional Office, and Zabel was responsible for “overseeing California’s cap-and-trade and offsets programs.” Yet, they recognize the Democrat proposals as a “big lie” that will not improve the environment, and a “big rip off” that will only put more “green” in the pockets of the cap-and-trade schemers. In an op-ed that appeared in the Washington Post, Williams and Zabel said the current proposed legislation in both the House and Senate “ignores the flaws inherent in both bills that would undermine even their weak emissions-reduction targets and would lock in climate degradation.” This morning we learn that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is on his way to New York to be afforded all the rights of a U.S. citizen within the U.S. justice system. It is a bizarre moment in history when our government extends constitutional rights to a non-citizen terrorist who forever changed life in America and is the confessed killer of 3000 innocent victims. It is hard to comprehend that political correctness and concern about free-speech protections caused no one within the military or intelligence agencies to intervene or asked questions of Hasan as his actions and behavior became increasingly radicalized. And, yet the same government sees no wrong in silencing highly credentialed long-term employees like Williams, Zabel, and Carlin. Unfortunately, we are now witnessing what was meant by the promise of “change” before the last election.- A Line of Sight's blog
