I love it when manipualtion of public opinion is being sold as "reasonable routine".

Quote:
But an earlier version of the written testimony, reviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, shows that Gerberding had planned to give the committee a detailed account of the agency's expectations of more frequent catastrophic weather events, diseases and other health effects of worldwide climate change.
(...)
The 12-page draft reviewed by the AJC differs significantly from the final six-page version submitted to the Senate committee.
The shorter version focuses on public health preparedness for climate change, including how the CDC is tracking diseases, doing heat-stroke modeling for cities to predict vulnerable populations and helping local officials plan for environmental emergencies.
The draft version contained an additional six pages explaining why climate change is a public health concern. Deleted passages describe the expected impact of climate change, including new disease patterns and food and water shortages for some people.
If this does not make you question the white-washed official version, if this this still leaves you as an uncritical believer, then i fear nothing will ever will wake you up. And have you imagined that when the Doctor said that no deletetion of content took place - she was concerned about future funding for her organization, and her own job maybe?

again, it is by far not the first time that the Bush government is being found to supress scietific data that it does not wish to see attention being payed to it. Citizens shall never ask "Why?" on issues. It is the most subversive question of all.

Good night, sweet dreams and may nothing ever trouble your reasonable mind.
