Suppression of science by Bush administration

Representative Brad Miller (D--North Carolina)sits on the House Committee on Science, and was interviewed in this article. Daily Kos: A Good Science Friday

The interview is concerned with suppression of science by the Bush administration. Examples found in the House Government Reform Committee (pdf document) included suppression over a wide range of agencies and policy areas including the following:

1. Manipulation of scientific advisory committees: appointing unqualified persons with industry ties and/or ideological agendas; stacking advisory committees; opposing qualified experts
2. Distorting and suppressing scientific information by doing the following: including misleading information in presidential communications; presenting incomplete and inaccurate information to Congress; altering web sites; suppressing agency reports
3. Interfering with scientific research

Another example of the way in which our country is being manipulated by religious whackos and neocons, each with their own scary agenda.
