Missouri River Management Plan to Be Election-Year Hot Potato

The Army Corps of Engineers' new plan to manage the Missouri River disregards overwhelming scientific consensus on the need to restore the river's natural flows, say critics. And it just might help President Bush's reelection campaign, say cynics. For their part, the barge and agricultural industries argue that the river's flows are plenty natural already -- too natural, even. Hear from both sides in the contentious debate over the "Big Muddy," one of America's great rivers, in Muckraker -- only on the Grist Magazine website.
