Reason as our guide
The Union of Concerned Scientists recently released a report,
"Scientific Integrity in Policymaking: An Investigation into the Bush
Administration's Misuse of Science"
(http://www.ucsusa.org/global_environment/rsi/report.html), criticizing
the Bush administration's willingness to ignore scientific conclusions
in the interests of advancing a political agenda. The report, which was
signed by over 60 prominent scientists prior to its release on February
17, 2004, questions the integrity and independence of several scientific
advisory committees. By law, such committees must be "fairly balanced in
terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be
performed by the advisory committee." (Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5
U.S.C. Appendix 2, Section 5(b)2 and 3)
