I couldn't seem to find anything at whitehouse.org. I suspect it's a bunch of former oil lobbyists, but I'd like to see it for myself.

If so, they ought to be taken out and shot. :evilgrin:

On edit, probably Phillip Johnson is one.

2. There was a lenghty article about this subject in the L.A. Times in
Edited on Sat Jan-22-05 05:51 PM by bobweaver
mid-October 2004. One of the points they demonstrated in this article was that any scientest considering working for the B**h administration in any way, was always asked the following question at some point during their initial interview, even if it was just their very first phone contact:

Q. Do you support the President?

Over and over, the answer to that one question was shown to be the determining factor, not only for whether the scientist got the job, but even whether they got a second call! It was clearly and obviously a litmus test, and only scientists who professed support for B**h and his political agenda were even given a chance. I read the whole article in mid-October but I don't remember the title or author.

3. Francis Fukuyama is the "bioethics" adviser; he's a transhumanist--
you know, uploading people into computers, HyperTechnoRapture, reaming out the planets so we can spread like cancer across the stars, anyone not orgasmically enthusiastic about nanotech and Monsanto should be shot as a danger to the future of humanity, ad nausaem
that should get you started

11. He doesn't listen to his science advisors, only his think tanks
So it doesn't matter who the scientists are, they don't have a voice.

12. Marburger
His science advisor is John Marburger, director, Office of Science and Technology Policy. Within that organization, I think there are a few more scientists who report to Marburger. More at http://ostp.gov/index.html

Henry Waxman, Congressman from CA, has been a vocal critic of the Bush Admin. science policies. He has a website at http://democrats.reform.house.gov/features/politics_and_science/index.htm
