More Accusations of Scientific Abuse by the Bush Administration

Posted by michael on from the piling-on dept.

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."

    It's news for nerds and the article was covered on google news yesterday anyway. Look, I can't stand bush, but reading stuff like this is *not* why I read slashdot. Surely there's better tech-related articles that can be covered.

    Moderators - discussion of the relevence of an article should be on-topic. If you disagree, post a reply, don't just mod me down.
