Something all the articles trashing Bush for being "anti-science" always fail to point out is that science and technology policy in a new administration or cabinet is always compromised by who came before them. The Clinton administration had already begun to cut funding in basic science long before Bush came on the scene (and many Democrats, notably the late George Brown, were already warning of a crisis in science policy during the Clinton years), and Dubya is, unfortunately, has not yet done anything to steer things right. Has ANYONE in Washington bothered to read the Ehlers Report?
