US Government Restricting Research Libraries

An anonymous reader writes: "In a move that has been termed 'positively Orwellian' by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility Executive Director Jeff Ruch, George W. Bush is ending public access to research materials at EPA regional libraries without Congressional consent. This all-out effort to impede research and public access is a [loosely] covert operation to close down 26 technical libraries under the guise of budgetary constraint. Scientists are protesting, but at least 15 of the libraries will be closed by Sept. 30, 2006."

"Has any other US president ever done as much damage to the US as Bush has?"

In a word: No.

And the person who modded you as a troll has not done any thinking on this. That we have to wait until 2008 to make a change is frightening and, by then, it may be too late.
