Do you mean this one?

Scientists criticize Bush policies

WASHINGTON - A group of more than 60 top U.S. scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates and several science advisers to past Republican presidents, on Wednesday accused the Bush administration of manipulating and censoring science for political purposes.

In a 46-page report and an open letter, the scientists accused the administration of "suppressing, distorting or manipulating the work done by scientists at federal agencies" in several cases. The Union of Concerned Scientists, a liberal advocacy group based in Cambridge, Mass., organized the effort, but many of the critics aren't associated with the group.

I know!

How many times did you hear the words "on his watch" and "reading to children" when they were talking?

After a while, it was embarassing for them.

And what a shock, Teresa Heinz and her Tides Foundation also fund Global Exchange (in addition to Peaceful Tomorrows)

Tides Statement for Peace
The Tides Community Responds to 9/11/01

Since the events of September 11, 2001, the Tides community has responded in a number of ways.

Tides Foundation has granted over $1.5 million to organizations doing timely and essential peace and justice work, including assisting the working poor and immigrant communities in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, promoting peaceful co-existence within diverse and potentially conflicting communities, guarding against the erosion of civil liberties, and elevating the voices of peace and justice in response to the administration's intention to attack Iraq. More on the Foundation's efforts>>

Tides Center has also done critical work to support a peaceful response to the crisis. Shortly following 9/11, Tides Center helped a group of victims' family members form September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, an advocacy organization seeking effective nonviolent responses to terrorism. These family members continue to be a powerful, persuasive voice in the growing movement to find alternatives to war.

And Groundspring.org (formerly eGrants.org) has played a key role in gathering, processing and granting more than $840,000 in online donations to support a wide range of peace and justice work

Our efforts at Tides are rooted in our over 26 years of working for progressive social change, and we feel privileged to be able to redouble our commitment to such work at this critical time.

Here are a few of the organizations we have been able support over the last year through the commitment and generosity of our partners in social change:

Providing emergency relief and human rights workshops to Afghan women refugees in Pakistan.

Here's one:

On 9/11, he was in a classroom listening to children reading to him.

I mean, where was he suppose to go to wait for the attack? :-)

What do they think he should have done?

(One of the women actually said that Bush put those children in DANGER of being killed by being in that classroom.)

I'm like, WHO KNEW?

Here is a telling quote from this bag:

Rita Lazar

 

"There’s something so similar between our administration and Al Qaeda in its certainty that god is on its side - that is laughable, and that the American people should fall for this line hurts me more than I can tell you."

Oh yea, these are your run of the mill 9/11 relatives.

The media didn't have to go far to get these guys. They were most likely calling Clinton weeks ago.

You do, do such good work. Really sad to see people replace the remembrance of their love one to political games.
