In a new article in the New York Times, the Bush Administration is accused of editing a paper on the state of the environment to remove a discussion of the risks of rising global temperatures. Jeremy Symons, a climate policy expert at the National Wildlife Federation said "This is like the White House directing the secretary of labor to alter unemployment data to paint a rosy economic picture." To use another analogy, it is like directing the CIA to alter intelligence information in order to gain public and international support for going to war.
