I have to confess I don't fully understand the withdrawal of a National Old Growth Amendment environmental impact statement. I read the letter written by Randy Moore about the "learning and feedback" they received, and I didn't see anything new there. Perhaps this is a veiled effort to permit the NFS to log in old-growth forests, which they have done many times? It's hard for me not to be skeptical about their intent, and it reminds me that I am glad I am not part of the government or enforcement.
