An exhaustive federal study of environmental hazards in the eight Great Lakes states was supposed to be released last July, but the Bush administration has kept it under wraps - reportedly because it contained such potentially "alarming information" as evidence of elevated infant mortality and cancer rates.

The Center is receiving tremendous recognition to our report, Iraq: the War Card - Orchestrated Deception on the Path to War. In only two weeks since its release, it has already generated a great deal of worldwide news coverage and citizen response.

- "Sure to evoke passionate responses from supporters and opponents of the Iraq war..." (USA Today)
- A nonprofit group pursuing old-fashioned accountability journalism..." (The Washington Post)
- The Center "has done a real service to place nearly 1,000 of these in one easy-to-access location..." (Daily Kos)
