OK, we fell for it. For all those who claim that liberal interest groups don't spin like conservatives, pay attention. In a press release from late December 2006 (and other releases dating back to at least 2004), the public-agency hound watch organization PEER (Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, which has many park employees as members) had intimated that employees of the Grand Canyon have been asked not to tell tourists about the scientifically-derived, geologic age of the national landmark. But to be fair, a whole lot of other people have fallen for this too, including the seeming "gag order" on employees coughing up to canyon's real age. Admittedly, that may just say more about the company we keep, but the fact is, Seattlest let its guard down.
