Censoring scientists
The Bush misadministration wants complete authority over science and research.

The Bush administration is clamping down on scientists at the US Geological Survey, the latest agency subjected to controls on research that might go against official policy.

New rules require screening of all facts and interpretations by agency scientists who study everything from caribou mating to global warming. The rules apply to all scientific papers and other public documents, even minor reports or prepared talks.
