Ian, this received some coverage here due to the extensive wilderness
areas in New Mexico. It is my understanding that the roads in question
would be new roads for logging purposes.

"The plan announced Monday would allow logging by permitting roads to
be constructed in national forests. Governors would have to petition
the federal government to block road building."

You just have to love such broad misleading statements. There are lots
of roads in our national forests.  Now, if you read the rest of the
article you do finally get a correct statement that they are
discussing the current "58.5 million acres designated as roadless
among the 191 million acres of national forest." As a little math
tells us that leaves 132.5 million acres that are already accessible
by road.

So, without finding out more about what we are really talking about
I'm not sure what side I am on with this.  Are we talking about
current "Wilderness" areas, or something different or more broad?
