Does the Bush Administration have any respect for truth?
Guest: Kevin Knobloch, President of the Union of Concerned Scientists
Government hires scientists all the time to help it decide what foods and drugs to regulate, what environmental protections are in order, and to resolve questions of global warming and workplace safety. Additionally, statisticians determine fundamental and important questions such as how many Americans are working or how many are homeless.

According to the Union of Concerned Scientists — and they’re not alone in their criticism — the Bush Administration has systematically undermined scientific thought in government studies by suppressing and distorting findings that contradict administration policies and by stacking scientific panels with political allies.
Should science be determined by objective theories? or by political maneuvering? My guest will be Kevin Knobloch, President of the Union of Concerned Scientists.
