" The federal agency responsible for protecting Arctic polar bears has barred
two Alaska scientists from speaking about polar bears, climate change or sea ice
at international meetings in the next few weeks, a move that environmentalists
say is censorship. "

Can the US Gov't really restrict individuals' free speech ?

I didn't realise the Repugs had gone that far !

Graham

They have gone that far already in silencing a NASA scientist that
tried to speak about global warming back in 2004 the White House wants
the ability to edit the language used by scientists when reporting to
the people.

First rule of a government by for and off the people, is to keep the
people from knowing what they don't want us to know.

They just want a chance to moderate the language a little. Terms like
"impending catastrophe" should be "in the unlikely event."

The repugs are the spin masters of all time.

Naaah! The leftist weenie media are spin masters of all time.
