    After hearing some of the government scientists studying the gulf oil spill,my impression of the Obama admin, is that they are also brown nosing the oil companies.
    The investigation is definitely related to the polar bear report so the Obama admin bureaucrat is lying.
    Interesting read.

    you shouldn't worry about it too much it goes both ways. Actually for 8 years of bushism they cleaned the sled pretty well.

    Now Social Security and Medicare are on the table?
    Something Bush could never do.
    What a bunch of idiots who took over the Democratic party.

    Before this gets thrown in FHoPolitics, let me answer with this:

    Guess which party forced the Democrats to put Social Security and Medicare on the table. Hint: Starts with an "R".

    if it weren't for the Democrats, they wouldn't be on the table - they'd be on the chopping block!

    Wow, that was an interesting read, in a really bad way. I sure hope the accusers are subjected to the same scrutiny and transparency. My read on this is that Monnet did a bit of an end-around his agency in order to get his data published. But since it was not sent to the Chinese for money, but to another US federal agency chartered with wildlife scientific research I think he should be commended for his integrity and courage.

    As I said before, he is a victim of bureaucratic organizational stupidity and I suspect bush era troglodytes. Both should be cleaned up, and this Monnet guy should run the new independent agency.
