I would look closely at OMB and CEA as instrumental in the coup. Crew had a timeline of both of those executive branch departments’ involvement in regionally significant efforts on the administration’s part to shorten the leash on EPA, e.g. with respect to publication of data on maternal and fetal toxic impacts of methylmercury in the <a href="http://www.citizensforethics.org/files/Council%20on%20Environmental%20Quality.doc" rel="nofollow">Great Lakes</a> [document titles listed but not linked by crew], as well as prospective measures to rein in coal fired electricity generation plant construction in the face of congressional momentum sufficient to end midwest pollution of air and contribution to acid rain. With respect to EPA assets, the President and the two above-mentioned executive branch departments have played a part in suppression of availability of EPA archived information by closing much of EPA’s system of reference libraries over the past two years, e.g. in IL in 2006; GAO published a nice study of the subterfuges the administration has deployed, and turbulence created in the wake of this repressive tactic in this <a href="http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d08304.pdf" rel="nofollow">February 2008 study of the closing of EPA informationbases and libraries</a> [1MBpdf] to access by the public, lawyers, and scientists. Bush has had OMB and CEA working overtime for the past two years, and Cheney has had a leadership position, in the suppression of NOAA regulations to slow commercial shipping in the area where near extinct right whales live just north of the Aleutians; Waxman is onto this specious scam, and this week has posted links to some documents showing how Cheney and boat co friends have succeeded in preventing obligatory protections from being enforced, thereby saving costs for boat cos and killing many right whales. Waxman has announced hearings on this classical lowRepublican ploy, see his site and the suite of <a href="http://oversight.house.gov/story.asp?ID=1921" rel="nofollow">documents obtained anonymously from NOAA, there</a>; Wapo on same <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/30/AR2008043003189.html" rel="nofollow">Cheneyesque polity</a> last week, there.</p> The region V leader’s forced exit resembles the US attorney purge.
