It's no secret that in Washington,
the most important decisions are made by bureaucrats, and George W. Bush has learned
that lesson well. More than any president in recent history, he has filled key
behind-the-scenes jobs with lawyers and lobbyists plucked from the industries
they now regulate -- people who have spent their careers seeking to dismantle
or circumvent environmental rules and who, in their new jobs, are continuing to
do just that.
