.....the
Defense Department is widely regarded as one of the nation's leading
polluters, producing vast amounts of chemicals from ordnance that leach
into groundwater, as well as air pollution from military vehicles. The
EPA lists more than 130 Superfund sites on
military bases.
"Congress
would never consider letting the nation's biggest corporate polluter
off the hook. Why, then, would Congress grant immunity to America's, and
the world's, largest polluter?"
--Heather Taylor, deputy legislative director for the
Natural Resources Defense Council
