Judge Limits Navy's Use Of Sonar
Citing concerns for marine mammals, a federal judge on Tuesday limited the Navy's use of a new sonar system designed to detect enemy submarines.

The decision scuttles the Navy's plans to experiment with the low-frequency sonar throughout the majority of the world's oceans, confining it instead to areas with few marine mammals and endangered species.

The case stems from a lawsuit by the Natural Resources Defense Council and other environmental organizations that claimed the powerful sonar system harasses and can even kill marine mammals.

People just don't understand how crime works! The Supreme Monkey Court will always rule for the Bush/GOP Crime Family. This judge is going to get suicided too!
