Why are we not hearing more about this. In all honesty I am done...I really see no point going on.

"Kirtland Air Force fuel leak in Exxon Valdez oil spill category
By Marjorie Childress 5/5/10 9:22 AM Digg Tweet

The jet fuel leak that has been slowly creeping off Kirtland Airforce Base, and contaminating Albuquerque’s water supply while its at it, is “massive.” So massive that it’s in the Exxon Valdez oil spill category, said Albuquerque Journal science writer John Fleck yesterday in a column. And state officials think its a very serious problem.

The numbers are in dispute, Fleck noted, with the air force claiming the spill is between one and two million gallons, but the state environment department claiming its an eight-million gallon spill. By comparison, the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of oil in Alaska’s Prince Williams Sound in 1989."

3. thanks, meanwhile, the giant local limbaugh 'community' radio station KKOB
spends all day supporting arizona's racial profiling and asking why doesn't NM have a comparable piece of shit- like paul revere in reverse- really serving the community well.
