what bush has done away from the public eye

most people aren't watching the EPA or NASA as the bush (mid)administration obliterates rules that fit their warped sense of design and purpose.

The NYT reports below the fold that NASA's chief called for "scientific openness" throughout the organization. The story updates the paper's earlier front-page scoop that some NASA scientists say they were being urged to tone down or edit reports to match Bush administration thinking on climate change and the big bang. The LAT reports inside that the EPA's internal advisory committee is furious that the agency's new rules on smog aren't tougher.
