This has nothing what so ever to do with Science and everything to do with politics. Pretending that politics is science is what distorts science.
Example of this nonsense:
"One example cited in the statement and report involves the suppression of an EPA study that found the bipartisan Senate Clear Air bill would do more to reduce mercury contamination in fish and prevent more deaths than the administration's proposed Clear Skies Act. “This is akin to the White House directing the National Weather Service to alter a hurricane forecast because they want everyone to think we have clear skies ahead,†said Kevin Knobloch, president of the Union of Concerned Scientists “The hurricane is still coming, but without factual information no one will be ready for it.†"
Oh, yeah that sounds like science to me.
More junk pretending it's not just political hack crap:
"One prominent goal of the new Bush initiative is to land the first human being on Mars. But the administration is also planning a first that has not been announced with a press conference: the first stationing of weapons in space.
"Unlike the newly conceived civilian space plan, the Bush administration began to press ahead with its military space plan at the very beginning of its term. And key parts are on the fast track: the first prototype weapon is scheduled to be in orbit by 2007 or 2008—before the end of a second Bush term. These plans are opposed by essentially the entire international community, which rightly believes that going down this path will bring the world less security—not more."
