Stardate 20010925.0618 (On Screen): Any major event will have cascading political fallout; causing winners and losers. Another big lower will be
the protesters on the island of Vieques, who through the summer seemed to have won their politica point to get the Navy to stop using part of the island as a bombing range. Now, suddenly, that's looking unlikely. President Bush had ordered the Navy to stop using the range in a couple of years, but now Congress is set to vote on (and I expect to pass) a provision which would cause the Navy to keep using it until an alternative could be found. Only there
really aren't any alternatives.
