Dead Ducks Tomorrow?

Michelle Malkin provides this interesting analysis based on an article by Nicholas Christoff in the New York Times and then proceeds to provide some great background updates on the potential use of DDT today. Specifically, shouldn't we use DDT to avoid mosquito born diseases in the tsunami ravaged regions of South Asia? DDT is one of the most effective anti-mosquito agents ever developed. Sadly, we have dismissed using this chemical to prevent "alleged" harm to waterfoul.

I can imagine the ENGO's outrage already. Amazing how the wackos have no compunction to discriminate in the name of "responsible" environmental activism. How is it that one duck potentially saved due to a belief derived from junk science is more important than thousands of lives?

Update: Looks like the ice may be breaking!
