...groups and the governments of states that feed into the Mississippi - released a plan of attack on Monday to reduce the Gulf's dead zone. The plan, an update of an effort launched in the waning days of the Clinton Administration in 2001, looks to harness state and federal action to reduce the flow of fertilizer into the Mississippi, much of which comes from agricultural sources that aren't covered by the regulations of the Clean Water Act.

It's no different from the janjaweed [who have been accused of genocide in Darfur]. It's no different from Charles Taylor's actions in Liberia, where the militia was responsible for killing, maiming, raping and arson within the rural areas. That's exactly what's happening. Twenty-five thousand people internally displaced, 3,000 people needed hospitalization because of torture, 65 dead, and 200 missing and unaccounted for. So that is a massive...
