The Gulf is wounded right now. Its natural resource is battered and its human resource is tested but its still alive.

This is the time when you would expect vulchers to show up… and wouldnt you know it they have. Greenpeace is on its way, Food and Water Watch is there and now the Center for Science in the Public Interest is circlingall looking to capitalize on a weakened Gulf.

Each will talk about its role in striving for better public health or its effort to protect the eco system but what each is really doing is exploiting a tragedy in order to forward its own policy goals.

Center for Science in the Public Interest will slam an already injured oyster community.

Food and Water Watch will use this opportunity to bash imports.

Greenpeace will be on the scene soon for a photo op that is sure to become a fundraising campaign.

Heres an idea, if these groups really want to help rather than just exploit the Gulf community for their own purposes, why dont they get together and make a significant donation to Friends of the Fishermen?
