The public
relies on government agencies for scientific information
and explanations
of complex technical matters. Applying a political filter to
scientific communications can confuse the public and ultimately
lead to cynicism and disillusionment. Unfortunately, the Bush
Administration has:
- distorted
Presidential communications to the American people;
- provided
incomplete and inaccurate scientific information to Congress;
- altered
web sites, deleting information that conflicts with Administration
priorities or adding unscientific
information that supports such priorities;
- suppressed
information from agency reports that conflicts with Administration’s
political or ideological agenda or suppressed the report
altogether;
- eliminated
key information from communications with international
organizations including the United Nations.
