It is true that past administrations have played politics with science, no one seriously doubts the reality of this. The issue is the level of manipulation, and the outcry from the science community, as well as the admissions made by the outgoing SG indicating his own distaste for what he was forced to do. I would wager that the office has not been compromised so heavily in the past, but if it was at least they were smart enough to hide it extremely well.
I have no problem taking into account previous manipulations of the Data....but I would also ask that YOU seriously consider the level of abuse that would force the entire scientific community to cry foul.
