This is great reporting

Living down here in America's Petrochem heartland, I can say this isn't a surprise, but I wanted to make the point that this is a great piece of reporting by David Pace of the AP. He actually saw what he thought was an issue, got data, sat down and figured it all out.

After sooo much of the hesaid/shesaid insider tattletale journalism has been exposed in the Plame affair,(genuine leaks do serve a purpose) it's good to see real reporting.

CHICAGO - An Associated Press analysis of a little-known government research project shows that black Americans are 79 percent more likely than whites to live in neighborhoods where industrial pollution is suspected of posing the greatest health danger.
