Drilling the Drill Regulations

Five Congressmen are calling for an investigation into the Bush administration's rules and regulations on something called "hydraulic fracturing." It's an oil and gas drilling technique Halliburton pioneered. The administration's backed several rules to allow it even thought some at the EPA say it hurts the environment. The rules give a huge competitive advantage to Halliburton. The Congressmen are calling on the EPA's Inspector General to investigate, questioning the EPA Administrator, and calling for Congressional hearings. (LAT)
