More Accusations of Scientific Abuse by the Bush Administration
Saeed al-Sahaf writes "Last week, the Union of Concerned Scientists released new evidence that the Bush Administration continues to suppress and distort scientific knowledge and undermine scientific advisory panels. Of course we're not talking about such subjective issues like stem cell research which Bush objects to on religious grounds. Here we are talking about money. The cases discussed in this story detail incidents of suppression and distortion of scientific knowledge on issues ranging from mountaintop removal strip mining to endangered species such as wild Salmon in the Pacific Northwest."
Don't forget that politics is what cuts our police force, closes our schools, and allows stupid kids to get out of school, into gangs and shoot each other.
Bush Politics also make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. Bush Politics also want to ammend the constitution when thier are more important issues at hand than gay marriage.
Only 'flamers' flame!
Does slashdot hate my posts?
Have you ever considered that these scientists are going after the Bush Administration because... the Bush Administration is guilty of all the things these 4000 scientists are claiming?

Consider also their foreign policy which consists of dropping as many bombs as quickly as possible. In the short run, yes, it'll quiet the world. However, the damage done to the reputation of the US in the world will probably not be repaired in the next 2 decades.
As opposed to the Clinton era foreign policy, which was to pretend that lobbing a few cruise missiles now and then would "make America safer", when all it really did was embolden the Islamic militants by giving them the impression that the US is just a paper tiger? Is that what you would prefer--a US that cowers like the Spaniards or Filipinos? Because that's what you'll get if Kerry is elected.
