Excerpts:

Richard H. Carmona, who commissioned the "Call to
Action on Global Health" while serving as surgeon general
from 2002 to 2006, recently cited its suppression as an
example of the Bush administration's frequent efforts
during his tenure to give scientific documents a political
twist. At a July 10 House committee hearing, Carmona did
not cite Steiger by name or detail the report's contents and
its implications for American public health.

After a long struggle that pitted top scientific and medical
experts inside and outside the government against Steiger
and his political bosses, Carmona refused to make the
requested changes, according to the officials. Carmona
engaged in similar fights over other public health reports,
including an unpublished report on prison health. A few
days before the end of his term as the nation's senior
medical officer, he was abruptly told he would not be
reappointed.

Distortions are said to serve policy goals

More than 60 influential scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates,
have issued a statement asserting that the Bush administration
has systematically distorted scientific fact in the service of policy
goals on the environment, health, biomedical research and nuclear weapons at home and abroad.

Among the Nobel winners are David Baltimore, Leon Lederman,
Norman Ramsey, Harold Varmus and Steven Weinberg.
