Bush Admin. Wants Manatee Plan Nixed

Of course it does. If we don't drive our powerboats at high speed through the habitats of an endangered species, the terrorists win.

Oh, they're talking about how it will take too long because of the bureaucracy and they'll never beat the deadline. But in the end, it's because the Administration is dragging its feet, once again, on protected species, because it's fundamentally opposed to the the Endangered Species Act. If they could save money while saving manatees, the Administration would spend money to avoid protecting them.
