Where is dear old Goebbels when they need him?

"Employees and contractors working for the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, along with a U.S. Geological Survey scientist
working at an NOAA lab, said in interviews that over the past year
administration officials have chastised them for speaking on policy
questions; removed references to global warming from their reports, news
releases and conference Web sites; investigated news leaks; and sometimes
urged them to stop speaking to the media altogether. Their accounts
indicate that the ideological battle over climate-change research, which
first came to light at NASA, is being fought in other federal science
agencies as well.

These scientists -- working nationwide in research centers in such places
as Princeton, N.J., and Boulder, Colo. -- say they are required to clear
all media requests with administration officials, something they did not
have to do until the summer of 2004. Before then, point climate researchers
-- unlike staff members in the Justice or State departments, which have
long-standing policies restricting access to reporters -- were relatively
free to discuss their findings without strict agency oversight."
