MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 2002 In an editorial today, The Washington Post criticizes Secretary of Interior Gale Norton for not submitting comments her agency drafted in response to a major environmental plan. Norton and her aides blamed the slip-up on Congress' failure to confirm her political appointees. "That's not a good enough excuse," the paper writes. "Congress should not delay qualified appointees, but in the meantime it's up to the folks who are there to find a way to get critical work done," the paper writes. Get the Story:
