Inhofe Watch Competitive Enterprise Institute Remember these guys? Inhofe's best buddies? Well if you don't you can easily figure out who they are. Just take a bunch of right wing money from the Bradley and Scaife Foundations, add a little more money from various Fossil Fuel industries and other corporate giants, and give that money to a bunch of hacks that do nothing but run around preaching that anything that might question the holy sanctity of our energy dependence on various stuff dug/drilled out of the ground is spawned from evil stupidity and you have a pretty clear picture of the CEI. They're back in the news with a new lawsuit against the Whitehouse. The kicker is that officials in the Whitehouse itself may have helped coordinate the lawsuit! Rowe and Blumenthal said they want to know whether White House officials working at the Council on Environmental Quality solicited a lawsuit filed by a conservative Washington think tank to discredit a 2000 report that documents the dangers of global warming. So here we have the idealogues at the Whitehouse actively working to thwart the efforts of the people they hired to provide them with the information they need to do their jobs. Follow that? Its a pattern that is becoming all too familar in this new era of Bush. If you don't like what people are saying then put the political or legal pressure on them. Meanwhile you fast track anything that greases the political wheels. The Iraq system of information control is pervasive in the Bush Whitehouse. Its not a new approach. I'm sure inteh old days before political spin and public relations they might have called this sort of thing corruption. Now, I'm not sure what we call it. But it still smells like a rat. In the world of science, if a hypothesis is tested and the results don't prove your hypothesis to be predictive you have to throw it out and start all over with a new one. Researchers found fudging their data to make their observations fit their hypothesis don't last very long in the world of scientific research. Why? Because there's no practical application for theories that don't work. | |
