WASHINGTON (AP) -- NASA's press office "marginalized, or mischaracterized" studies on global warming between 2004 and 2006, a government watchdog says.



In a report issued Monday, the NASA inspector general said the press office's actions were a result of "inappropriate political interference."

The inspector general's report blamed "political appointees," saying neither the agency's top management nor career officials engaged in censorship of the studies.
