Military: Don't contaminate more land in Hawai'i
In the
Advertiser
letters,
Marisa M. Plemer asks a series of pertinent questions, starting with: "How do we
as mere citizens respond to the autocratic meth ods employed by Sens. Dan Inouye
and Daniel Akaka, Rep. Neil Abercrombie, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, our
own state government and Congress approving the Army Transformation Stryker
Brigades before the public response period is even over on Jan. 3, 2004? Is this
the democracy that American soldiers are dying for in the Middle East? When is
the Army going to spend money decontaminating the 138 toxic-waste sites already
in existence according to the Federal Hazardous Waste
Sites?"Bryan Baptiste, Mayor of
Kaua'i, also has a letter regarding access to Papa'a Bay, for which four people
were arrested
while celebrating Sunday.
