This hot up in Washington re the Crandall Canyon Mine.  Here is the link to the just-issued report from the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General–Office of Audit.  The report is called “MSHA could not show it made the right decision in approving the roof control plan at Crandall Canyon Mine.”

I have not yet read the 80 pages, so no comment from me.  But the Google news and other blog items are begining to erupt, so take a look at your favorite, trusted resources and sites.  That from the Salt Lake Tribune is brief but informative.  The report from kutv.com is longer but not in depth.

The two blog postings I found simply trot out the ususal litany of incompetence we have all become too familiar with.  Nothing new or insightful there.  In fact it is probably impossible at this time to say anything new and insightful about this dreadful case. 

Personally I just recommend voting them all out of office and starting with a fresh slate.   For the rest, leave it to the lawyers, they may get to the guilty whom we cannot vote out.
