Truth Tonight, Lie Tomorrow

Share article:

The Washington Post is reporting this in tomorrow’s paper:

The Bush administration intends to seek about $70 billion in emergency funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan early next year, pushing total war costs close to $225 billion since the invasion of Iraq early last year, Pentagon and congressional officials said yesterday.

Now go watch Bush not answer Charlie Gibson’s direct question about precisely that on tomorrow’s GMA interview (I’ve seen the preview).

    Judy, unfortunately no. The version I saw was on TV, but if I can find a copy on the net, I’ll try to post a link here (welcome anyone else who has one…Section of Bush/Charlie Gibson interview where he’s asked about plans to ask for more funding for Iraq just after the election).

    NASA: Bush Stifles Global Warming Evidence
    By CHUCK SCHOFFNER
    The Associated Press
    Tuesday, October 26, 2004; 11:27 PM

    IOWA CITY, Iowa – The Bush administration is trying to stifle scientific evidence of the dangers of global warming in an effort to keep the public uninformed, a NASA scientist said Tuesday night.

    "In my more than three decades in government, I have never seen anything approaching the degree to which information flow from scientists to the public has been screened and controlled as it is now," James E. Hansen told a University of Iowa audience.

    Hansen is director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York and has twice briefed a task force headed by Vice President Dick Cheney on global warming.

    Hansen said the administration wants to hear only scientific results that "fit predetermined, inflexible positions." Evidence that would raise concerns about the dangers of climate change is often dismissed as not being of sufficient interest to the public.
