Who would have thought the administration would attempt to claim their gag order wasn't a gag order. Nope, Bush has never lied and given double speak before.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate. -

And you have been waging a war against the English language for quite some time... yet few complain.
I love how people make Bush out to be the bad guy here... as if he's the one behind some massive conspiracy silencing the scientists.
You actually think Bush is going to waste one minute of his time dealing with bull**** like this? Please...
He delegates, remember? His scientist gagging is done by his underlings... hmmm... "Scientist Gagging"... sounds like a great porno movie.
But back to my point... I hate it when people can't even bash Bush properly.
It's like watching someone fire a gun wildly. Sometimes their aim is so bad, they wouldn't even hit the ground if it wasn't for gravity.
Well done bashing

Why would anyone care what Bush thinks? This is bull****. Why hire scientists if they are just going to say whatever some moron wants them to?"It's very important to know what the position of the United States government is on these issues. If two scientists want to talk over a coffee, that's fine. We want them to do that," he said. "But in an official capacity you need to know what your role is. This is not about gagging scientists. We don't want to do that."I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Yeah, and who would put any trust into scientists payed by politicians such as Bush and Gore ?
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Capitalism WORKS
"Capitalism works...but you gotta watch it."
Its main evil is its tendency to "export costs" i.e. polluting other people air and water, misrepresent the goods or services it sells. As the old muckraker's poem went:
Mary had a little lamb.
One day she saw it sicken.
She marched it into packing town,
And now it's labeled "Chicken."

OK, bright eyes.
If traveling on government business do not discuss "climate change, polar bears, and sea ice". Nope, no gag order there. It applies to scientists as well as career staffers so please stop. You are only embarrassing yourself.An administration memo directs foreign travelers on U.S. government business not to discuss "climate change, polar bears, and sea ice". Further, any foreign travel "involving...climate change, sea ice, and/or polar bears" requires special arrangements.
