Photo via Treevolution That either group was on such a list in the first place is troublesome in itself. Regardless, The US Justice Department announced today that activists from both PETA and Greenpeace, as well as other groups, had been “improperly” monitored in the years following the September 11th attacks. Members and activists were placed on the FBI’s Terrorist Watch list for “factually weak” reasons between 2001 and 2006, a new report reveals.

Photo via Physorg And it’s about time. Over the weekend, the federal government finally deemed the Macondo 252 well, which had erupted after an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig , to be “effectively dead”. Thad Allen, the ex-Coast Guard Rear Admiral who had overseen the spill response during the disaster, made the official statement yesterday. He said that the well now poses “no continuing threat to the Gulf of Mexico,” according to the New York Times. Can that be true?… Read the full story on TreeHugger

“McCarthy brandishing one of his infamous lists,” Image credit: Knowledge Rush Environmentalists in Pennsylvania may have more in common with the “Tea Party” crowd than they might like to admit. Both have been similarly spied on and reported to PA authorities as ‘security risks,’ simply because they expressed their Constitutional rights to free speech and/or to peaceful public assembly.

There’s been a well-documented gray area surrounding the cooperative operations of BP and federal governmental agencies in the response to the Gulf spill. Questions were raised about press access, for instance, as the government seemed to be abetting BP in restricting media access to sensitive or potentially embarrassing spill-impacted sites.
