Ace..your "inconvenient truth" (?) about the Iraq resolution and creation/evolution once again avoids the issue presented in the OP and the subsequent evidence from the House Committee Dem report and the Union of Concerned Scientists of manipulation and suppression of scientific studies by the executive branch of the government.
What do you suggest be done about it?
Accept it, because you like Bush's "in your face" approach and others in the past did it also, but more "deceptively"?
Investigate it through the proper channel envisioned in the Constitution (see the separation of powers and the role of Congress)?
Or perhaps, you have another solution?

I guess there is a fine line between fulfilling oversight responsibilities and politicizing. We will see what happens, my bet is they are going to politicize issues inspite of saying they won't. That is hypocracy. If they simply said we are going to "rack Bush and the Republican party over the coals" for what they believed are deceptive practices, I would respect that, but don't try to make me believe the hearings are for some other grand purpose.

I would suggest the politicization and hypocracy regarding scientific findings and research is not limited to a Dem Congressional investigation....it has been going on for the last six years at unprecedented levels by the Bush administration and a subservient Congress. (as the UCS noted).
Of course, any hearing by a Dem Congress will be politicized to some extent. That is the nature of politics...just as the actions by the outgoing Congress have been.
