Does it surprise you to learn that the Bush administration lies and manipulates you at every turn? It really shouldn't. Clinton was great at spinning the truth, but the Bush administration spins like a Dradel in a centrafuge.

According the Union of Concerned Scientists, a group led by 60 prominent Scientists (20 of whom are Nobel Prize winners and 19 of whom are winners of the National Medal of Science) has this to say about the Pope denouncing Galileo.. er I mean, about Bush manipulating current science to fit his agenda.

Quote:

Across a broad range of issues�from childhood lead poisoning and mercury emissions to climate change, reproductive health, and nuclear weapons�the administration is distorting and censoring scientific findings that contradict its policies; manipulating the underlying science to align results with predetermined political decisions; and undermining the independence of science advisory panels by subjecting panel nominees to political litmus tests that have little or no bearing on their expertise; nominating non-experts or underqualified individuals from outside the scientific mainstream or with industry ties; as well as disbanding science advisory committees altogether.
