The instances of corporate flacks coming after whistle blowers of any sort are just too numerous to list. Hats off to these brave souls. May there be many, many more. There is really no reason the gas industry can’t do business honestly. Same goes of BigPharma, BigAg, etc. But they chose to do otherwise and gather unto themselves some elitist justification that they are somehow contributing to the general good while rampantly poisoning us and the environment. The toxic load in our foods and our environment today is beyond any real comprehension. Hopefully this link will help: http://organicconnectmag.com/wp/2010/08/body-toxins-and-our-children/

It is telling when a complex technical process like fracking hits the mainstream media.

Yet another reason we need the EPA, to keep an informed and watchful eye on the toxic practices of the oil industry.
