< To add to the sense of unreality, the Democratic Party seems to be staking the remnants of its national credibility on behalf of the crack-brained project of trying to convince the public that the most trusted, straightforward, honest president the country has seen in quite a while is actually a devious manipulator of mass opinion. >
The Bush administration wouldn't do that.....
Report by the E.P.A. Leaves Out Data on Climate Change
By ANDREW C. REVKIN with KATHARINE Q. SEELYE The New York Times
The Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to publish a draft report next week on the state of the environment, but after editing by the White House, a long section describing risks from rising global temperatures has been whittled to a few noncommittal paragraphs.
The report, commissioned in 2001 by the agency's administrator, Christie Whitman, was intended to provide the first comprehensive review of what is known about various environmental problems, where gaps in understanding exist and how to fill them.
Agency officials said it was tentatively scheduled to be released early next week, before Mrs. Whitman steps down on June 27, ending a troubled time in office that often put her at odds with President Bush.

I see a close parallel between this story and how the Bushies handled reports from the CIA before the Iraqi invasion, that there was no evidence of a threat from WMD. They got rid of the people who told them the truth, and found those who told them what they wanted to hear.
