I read that a proposed solution to the excessive carp in Utah Lake is to allow a Minnesota group to harvest the fish and send them to Iraq ("Committee to study Utah Lake's future," Tribune, Jan. 25). Is the idea behind this to contaminate the Iraqi people with the carcinogenic PCBs that the same article says the fish contain?
In fact, the fish are so contaminated that adults should consume only four ounces per month, and pregnant women and children should totally abstain. Is this Utah's own way of ending the Iraq war?
After so much publicity about contaminated dog food and lead-laced toys from China, we will be doing the same thing to Iraq. Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black.
