"The Government Sanctioned Bombing of Appalachia"
by Atrim Caskey
Coal mining dominates the lives of the people in the remote, coal-rich
mountain communities of West Virginia, where coal operators like Massey
Energy are waging a remorseless campaign to extract all the coal they can,
as fast as they can, before coal is legislated into the past and President
Bush is out of office.
