Thank to Ms. Brain, Messenger's sexiest correspondant, for the following heads-up~
"According to a report by the scientific committee of the International Whaling Commission, one of the world's leading bodies of whale biologists, the evidence linking sonar to a series of whale strandings in recent years is "very convincing and appears overwhelming." Despite the broad scientific consensus that military active sonar kills whales, the use of this deadly sonar in the world's oceans is spreading.
An NRDC-led coalition of wildlife advocates succeeded in restricting the U.S. Navy's use of a powerful active sonar system known as SURTASS LFA in 2003. But the fight is hardly over; other nations are developing LFA-type systems of their own, and sonar testing using mid-frequency sonar systems, which have been implicated in numerous strandings of whales worldwide, continues unabated, putting marine mammals and fisheries at risk. And the Bush administration is now appealing the legal victory that compelled the Navy into compromise."

that's sad. do we really need LFA in 75% of the world's oceans? what kind of dumbass thinks "that's a great idear."i mean, i'd rather be undermined by international terrorists in submarines than kill a bunch of whales and be nationally secure.my - and my country's - "security" is simply not worth the death of thousands of whales, and anyone who doesn't sign this declaration with me, i will kill you, so you die anyway. in fact, the deploration of whale-killing LFA's might be grounds for going to war in the first place.United States, you'd better pray to your shallow, withering gawd that i never become a nation capable of attacking your navy. I'll fund the Farley Mowat on your ass, bitchez. give a call-up-a Cap'n Nemo, right? *click* shiiieeeeeet.
