built 220 days ago
The Bush administration has from time to time found it convenient to distort science to serve political ends.

Some administration defenders say that concerns about Bush's signing statements are overblown. Bush's signing statements, they say, should be seen as little more than political chest-thumping by administration lawyers who are dedicated to protecting presidential prerogatives.
