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."

Carter was the one who made the treaty with NK, remember? Thought they weren't pulling his leg about peaceful nuke purposes.

We were "respected" under Clinton because we were going along with the Euro idea that you could talk and reason with a culture that wants all western civilization off the face of the Earth.

Read Iraqi blogs and polls. They are overall glad we're there and want us to stay until the conversion is done. They are glad Saddam is out and actually want to hang him.

Don't conflate Iraqi's with Iranian and Syrian insurrectionists.
