There's nothing in the secret commitments the U.S. government made to plaintiffs in the case involving management of the four lower Snake River dams that anybody could sue over, according to a lawyer with experience in litigating similar disputes. "It sort of shows what the agencies are thinking, but there's no cause of action here," Karen Budd-Falen, an attorney in Cheyenne, Wyo., told the Capital Press. A litigant can only sue the federal government over a "final agency action." "A draft is not a final," she said.
