Well, I think this is something new!

The scientific integrity of the Smithsonian Institute is now subject to question after they skewed last year's global warming exhibit toward uncertainty to avoid angering Congress? A former administrator resigned after 16 years of service last fall over the issue, saying it was like pulling teeth to get solid science into the exhibit without toning it down. I gotta look into this, because if it's true, something has to be done. This is as great an obscenity as it would be if the Library of Congress started giving favorable listings to the books of people who pay them! Some institutions have to be above politics, or the history we are preserving for future generations becomes a fabric of intentional lies. God knows Congress won't tell us the hard truths we don't want to hear! Here's the article I read: http://www.comcast.net/news/national/index.jsp?cat=DOMESTIC&fn=/2007/05/21/668891.html
