My, my. I expected the BLM mess to continue, but I hadn't expected Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to threaten an investigative reporter who dared to inquire about the issue.
Of course, Secretary Salazar wasn't expecting to find himself on the viral video carrying his threat.
That led to a "sincere" public apology that even hit the New York Times: "Colorado: Interior Secretary Apologizes to Reporter."
The posturing and rhetoric is likely to continue. The welfare of the horses is unlikely to improve. Too many cattlemen want the horses gone. Too many companies want to extract the last ounce of minerals from the land the horses occupy.
9 December 2012 -- UPDATE
Well, well. "Interior Secretary Moves to Tighten Rules Over Sale of Wild Horses."
