Al Jazeera's online podcast, "The Stream" webcast a show recently on the land exchange approved to allow the Resolution Copper mine in Superior, Arizona, to develop one of largest underground copper mines in the world.The episode is titled, "A minefield of protests over Apache 'sacred' lands." It includes interviews with:
- Roger Featherstone, Director, Arizona Mining Reform Coalition
- Vernelda Grant, San Carlos Apache Historic Preservation Officer
- Pete Rios, County Supervisor of District 1, Pinal County, AZ
- Rick Grinnell, Vice President, Southern Arizona Business Coalition
Wow, al Jazeera. That bastion of free press and unbiased reportage!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting the anti-mining coalition has a cozy relationship with Al Jazeera. They also had opposition story against Rosemont Copper a few years ago: http://blogs.aljazeera.com/blog/americas/environmentalists-oppose-arizona-copper-mine
