The EPA challenged the accuracy of the report and argued that the Bush
administration was doing more than any previous administration to
address the health impact of mercury emissions.


Right. By giving polluters a total pass.


"We agree that mercury is a serious public health issue," Cynthia
Bergman, a spokeswoman for the EPA, said in a written statement.
"That's why we're working with the Food and Drug Administration to
provide consumers with clear guidance about the benefits and risks of
fish consumption."


Clear guidance: Dicking around with the numbers so they don't seem so bad.
