Yep, a stupid redstate is about to get a nuclear waste enema from Georgie porgy. First they say science is not sound and now it is. I thought Bush and his right wing religious whack jobs don't believe in science?

New Bush administration report describes project work as 'strong,' 'valid'
WASHINGTON (AP) - Work on the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump, though performed by federal employees who apparently made up facts, was scientifically sound, an Energy Department report said Friday.
But the work will be redone anyway because it didn't comply with quality assurance rules. That will take months and could cost as much as several million dollars, said Paul Golan, acting director of the department's Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management.
"We need to move forward based on work that meets our quality standards. And if that means redeveloping this work, taking the time and incurring the cost to do that, we just need to do that," Golan said in a conference call.
The Energy Department released the 144-page report nearly a year after disclosing the existence of e-mails written by U.S. Geological Survey hydrologists indicating they fabricated facts, deleted inconvenient data and kept one set of documents for themselves and another for quality assurance officials.
