To the Editor:

    After seven years in which the response to every challenge was to gather more powers into the Executive fist, I had to read this latest news twice. Why would the secretary of the Interior surrender powers? That second reading makes the villainy clear; he surrenders a power that he doesn't want in exchange for crippling Congress's proper oversight custody and oversight functions. Nice try, Dirk. I'm sure your corporate masters will reward your efforts in your next career.
