The military/industrialist Senator from New York, Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for her party's 2008 Presidential nomination, continues to support the war in Iraq.
Now she is supporting International Paper's plan to test burn used automobile tires at its Ticonderoga, New York facility - making the Republican Governor of Vermont - across the waters of Lake Champlain - look like an environmentalist for opposing the burn.
The test burn is the company's first step in a plan to burn 72 tons of tires a day at the facility.
Vermont PIRG points out that the company's boiler is not properly equipped to catch the toxic pollutants that are coming out of the plant right now, let alone the witches brew of heavy metals and cancer causing chemicals released from burning tires.
Instead of Clinton demanding this hazardous waste dump be shut down, she supports its owners' "freedom to burn" and pollute the green state. The irony is that Republicans oppose her pro-polluting stance.
