1. Is the Center for Biological Diversity throwing the Sierra Club and the NRDC Under the Bus?
"...These groups have demonstrated by both their action and inaction that they do not deserve that public trust. Unlike the Center for Biological Diversity, fawning groups like the Sierra Club have been successfully manipulated both by corporate money and by partisan gamesmanship. They’ve become such complete Washington DC creatures that they don’t know how to be advocates from the outside any more — their primary function is to give political cover in the midst of a PR battle. They have abdicated the role of non-partisan watchdogs, and the public should find new organizations independent of party control in which to place their trust."


I think I'll keep an open mind about this.

Seems like a little bit of inter-organizational bickering.

Or jealousy, or ideological differences turned bashing.

:shrug:
