Editorial: McCain should drop NAGPRA amendment
Wednesday, July 20, 2005

"Two little words could ruin any chance scientists have for further study on 9,400-year-old Kennewick Man.

After years of delay, scientists recently had the chance to examine the ancient skeleton that was discovered along the banks of the Columbia River in 1996. Their hopes of continuing their analysis may be dashed, however, if U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., gets his way.

We hope he doesn't."
