‘bending science to his political needs’
==+==
The Bush administration is guilty of misrepresenting scientific knowledge and
misleading the public, a group of America’s most senior scientists claimed
yesterday.
They said the government had manipulated information to fit its policies on
everything from climate change to whether Iraq had been trying to make nuclear
weapons.

They said the government had manipulated information to fit its policies on

The open letter from the independent Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) said:
“When scientific knowledge has been found to be in conflict with its political
goals, the administration has often manipulated the process through which
science enters into its decisions.... This has been done by placing people who
are professionally unqualified or who have clear conflicts of interest in
official posts and on scientific advisory committees; by disbanding existing
advisory committees; by censoring and suppressing reports by the government’s
own scientists; and by simply not seeking independent scientific advice.”
