PR: Hey, you wanted it, you got it!
According to the Military Toxic Project organization, Vieques could be added to the list of sites left unclean by the U.S Navy after it has contaminated the area.
Tara Thorton, who heads the organization grouping some 36 communities across the United States affected by U.S. military contamination, the Navy has failed to comply with numerous environmental laws in recent years and has escaped its responsibility to clean some contaminated sites.
Is it fair to ask the military that is engaged in a war to spend precious resources to clean up Vieques? I'm not saying that the military should not do it, but not now. Whatever happened to that gang that was protesting against the Navy's presence at Vieques? Couldn't they gather together on weekends and do something constructive for once?
