WEEKEND HEADLINES, 11/22 & 11/23/08 *** The Washington Post reports the Bush administration is forcing the Environmental Protection Agency is finalizing new air-quality rules that would make it easier to build coal-fired power plants, oil refineries and other major polluters near national parks and wilderness areas. The Bush administration is coming under wide criticism for its proposal to lease more than 50,000 acres for oil and gas drilling in Utah, including areas adjacent to Arches National Park and Desolation Canyon *** The giant poultry company Aviagen, who supplies most turkeys to stores in the USA, has suspended a supervisor after an animal rights group released a video showing turkeys being abused at the company's West Virginia farms. The video released by the PeTA shows workers stomping on the heads of turkeys, twisting their necks and slamming them into metal cages. The video was recorded by an undercover investigator *** A grand jury in Texas has indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on state charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in private prisons in Texas. The indictment cites Cheney's investment in Vanguard Group, which owns an interest in private prisons in South Texas. Gonzales is accused of using his position while in office to stop an investigation in 2006 into abuses at one of the privately run prisons. Cheney seems to have given several profitable contracts to these "for profit" prisons in which he owned stock, and some prisoners were mistreated so badly they died *** Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center said there have been "hundreds" of race-based incidents since the election. The Associated Press has compiled a list of other possible hate crimes over the past two weeks. Crosses were burned in yards of Obama supporters in Hardwick, New Jersey and Apolacan Township, Pennsylvania, which included cross burnings, racial violence, threats to death and second and third-grade students on a school bus in Rexburg, Idaho chanting "assassinate Obama" *** More tomorrow
