Environmentalists & Dolphin Safe Tuna

A bill moving through Congress that would change the definition of "dolphin safe" tuna has caused an unusually angry fight within America's environmental community.

As NPR's David Baron reports, the fight has exposed philosophical differences between major environmental organizations.
