Talk about executive branch lobbying. Another upsetting example -- with fingerprints on the documents -- of the Bush administration and comrade Dobriansky putting the interests of the American people beneath those of the energy industry to which they are so beholden. So this wouldn't be leaking from the British, would it? Update: Even better than executive branch lobbying by the oil industry is getting the oil industry's top lobbyist a top position on environmental affairs in the White House. From the NYT.

Thursday Update: A reader informs me that the memos cited in the Guardian piece above were first uncovered by Greenpeace "quite some time ago," and were quoted from in a piece, "Some Like It Hot," by Chris Mooney in Mother Jones as well. Thanks for the heads up.
