Feds not doing anything about drugs in water.

From the AP:

A White House task force that was supposed to devise a federal plan to research the issue of pharmaceuticals in drinking water has missed its deadline and failed to produce mandated reports and recommendations for coordination among numerous federal agencies, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

But it is impossible to track any possible progress by the group because the White House has classified task force agendas and minutes as internal documents, and therefore cannot be released, said spokeswoman Kristin Scuderi.

The AP found that while water is screened for drugs by some suppliers, they usually don’t tell their customers of results showing the presence of medications including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones.

Well thats just fantastic. The feds take their sweet time while Americans are being poisoned, and they still cant manage to meet any deadlines.

What possible reason is there for Bush to classify the minutes of those task force meetings? Are they trying to protect those big money pharmaceutical companies who donate tons of money to members of both parties?

Lets see, the water is poisonous, the borders are wide open, the economy is dying, yet the feds are doing the exact opposite of what they should be doing. Is it intentional, or has the level of incompetency in DC reached an all time high?

Why not just get rid of everyone in DC and start over?
