The implication that university researchers must defend their work to a religious group is troubling to some members of Congress.
"I am disturbed that this list would be used to bring pressure against respected researchers working to improve and protect health care," wrote Rep. Tom Lantos, D-San Mateo, in a letter sent Thursday to Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson, who oversees the NIH. "The days of blind judgmentalism in connection with HIV/AIDS should be long gone." s'cuze me, Dim, but automatically assuming valid any and all so-called research connected with HIV/AIDS is in itself a form of blind judgementalism. I'd like to know why so much taxpayers' money is being spent studying a completely avoidable disease, in great excess -last I checked- of those funds spent studying various random-cause cancers which kill far more Americans every year than does AIDS.

some of us would simply like to know what the money is being used for, what benefits could possibly come from such use, and if no benefits could possibly come from such use we'd like to see such use curtailed.
It is, after all, our TAXES that are paying for this.
Demanding some form of accountability both from researchers and the NIH is utterly reasonable.
