Chairman: Bush officials misled public on global warming. That's Chairman Waxman Folks!!

Henry Waxman goes to workk!!!!

~snip~
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Democratic chairman of a House panel examining the government's response to climate change said Tuesday there is evidence that senior Bush administration officials sought repeatedly "to mislead the public by injecting doubt into the science of global warming."

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California, said he and the top Republican on his oversight committee, Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, have sought documents from the administration on climate policy, but repeatedly been rebuffed.

"The committee isn't trying to obtain state secrets or documents that could affect our immediate national security," said Waxman, opening the hearing. "We are simply seeking answers to whether the White House's political staff is inappropriately censoring impartial government scientists."

4. They got away with it because the pug congress and M$M let them
With our guys heading the committees, at least we get these stories published and in the public view.

That is step one. You are aware of the crimes. Many Americans aren't, thanks to M$M practicing crony journalism instead of doing their jobs.

'inappropriately censoring'is synonymous with obfuscating or just plain not telling the TRUTH.

Misfeasance and malfeasance in office ... hallmarks of a Republican administration.
