“The Bush White House is purging, censoring and blacklisting scientists and engineers whose work threatens the profits of the administration’s corporate paymasters or challenges the ideological underpinnings of their radical anti-environmental agenda. Indeed, so extreme is this campaign that more than 60 scientists, including Nobel laureates and medical experts, released a statement on 18 February that accuses the Bush administration of deliberately distorting scientific fact ‘for partisan political ends’.”
