President Bush's science adviser, John Marburger, said he was disappointed in the report, and called it biased.
He said he was troubled by the fact that some very prestigious scientists signed the statement.
"We have to find a way to reach out to them and try to come to an understanding, because this administration has in fact been very supportive of science," Marburger said. He noted the administration has doubled the National Institutes of Health budget and increased the National Science Foundation budget.

In 1969, forty-eight professors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology formed the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) to protest America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. The group conducted a highly publicized strike in March 1969, that included such speakers as leftist MIT professor Noam Chomsky , and Eric Mann of the Weatherman faction of the Students for a Democratic Society. (SDS was the terrorist organization responsible for bombing the U.S. Capitol Building in 1971.) The Union used the strike as a forum to declare that “misuse of scientific and technical knowledge presents a major threat to the existence of mankind.” This philosophy was starkly articulated by key organizer, Jonathan Kabat: “”You’ve got to say, ‘No, we want capitalism to come to an end.”
The Union’s trendy radicalism launched it into money, power and influence. A permanent office was opened in Cambridge, and UCS grew into a multimillion dollar activist organization. Three of its original founders still sit on the board: James A. Fay, Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering (MIT); Kurt Gottfried, Chairman of the Physics Department at Cornell University; and Victor Weisskopf, Professor Emeritus of Physics (MIT). The Board of Directors of this organization also includes the standard litany of corporate America special interests, liberal nonprofit foundations, and former government agency employees.
i mean can you honestly tell me that this isnt a biased organization???

WASHINGTON - A group of more than 60 top U.S. scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates and several science advisers to past Republican presidents, on Wednesday accused the Bush administration of manipulating and censoring science for political purposes.
In a 46-page report and an open letter, the scientists accused the administration of ``suppressing, distorting or manipulating the work done by scientists at federal agencies'' in several cases. The Union of Concerned Scientists, a liberal advocacy group based in Cambridge, Mass., organized the effort, but many of the critics aren't associated with it.

no it shouldnt be silenced. we need dissention. thats what makes this country great.
what makes me mad is that nefars source is so biased that they called UCS an "independant group" when they are really a liberal special interest group.
those are the things that piss me off. when it is a conservative group they (the liberal media) are quick to tell every1 that this is a conservative , arch conservative, far right, and/or right wing organization. but when it is a liberal special interest group they call it an "independant group" or "non-partisan" and people that arent informed with that information take thier word without knowing that they have a liberal agenda.
