I know what it is like to not trust information, especially about environmental problems, from my government. The U.S. government, particularly agencies such as EPA, Forest Service, TVA, NRC, DOE, all regularly fudge the truth, particularly if it involves environmental damage that their agencies have been involved in.

So to have the US government not trust information being put out by the Japanese government about the radiation levels in the environment in Japan is pretty amazing in my mind. It means that things must be really really bad.

My heart goes out to the citizens of Japan who are trying to cope with this hell on earth. It is the arrogant corporations and their governmental co-conspirators who think they know better than everyone and nature that have messed up the environment time and time again. But this one is on the verge of becoming a global nightmare. Yet, the denials continue. At least more and more people are beginning to learn and are questioning these people instead of just buying their propoganda without question, and that is a good thing.

Let's hope that these people can deliver and get these nukes under control before the releases get worse and more and more people suffer. But let's hold some people accountable. That's the only way that things will change.
