Just as the reporting from the NYTimes about Bush 2.0's coordinated effort with regards to message control concerning the war in Iraq that I blogged about earlier in the week, THIS ARTICLE by the AP recognizes the complaints by 100's (yes, 100's) of Environmental Protection Agency scientists who say that they were pressured to skew their findings in their work to mesh with Bush 2.0's belief that global warming is a hoax. Again, this is an example of how belief that if you control the message you're winning the argument has infected Bush 2.0 to unseen levels at the detriment to the trust level that the American people have in government. From the U.S. Attorneys who were fired for political purposes to the ex-generals with conflicts of interest who were trotted out to support the war to putting pressure on career scientists at the EPA to shape their findings to Bush 2.0 policy to using Dept. of Education appointees in op-ed columns and on news shows to support No Child Left Behind without mentioning their connection... well, the list goes on and on and on...
