Scientific Integrity in Policy Making

[John Denker <jsd@AV8N.COM>]

The Union of Concerned Scientists has released a new report with
more examples, more-detailed discussion, and more signatories.

I quote a snippet from the announcement / executive summary:
http://www.ucsusa.org/global_environment/rsi/page.cfm?pageID=1449

> Since the release of the [first] UCS report in February, the
> administration has continued to undermine the integrity of science in
> policy making, seemingly unchecked.  Many scientists have spoken out
> about their frustration with an administration that has undermined
> the quality of the science that informs policy making by suppressing,
> distorting, or manipulating the work done by scientists at federal
> agencies and on scientific advisory panels.
