ace....that may not be the most egregious example of manipulation of medical (or scientific) data among the dozens committed by Bush ideologues, but the CDC is a medical agency NOT a political agency.
CDC mission statement (just for you
):
CDC′s Mission is "to promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability."
The safe use of condoms prevents disease. It should be clear that it is not 100% effective ...but it is an indisputable medical fact that condoms help prevent disease. CDC has an ethical responsibility to present all the facts.

No...it was just deleted completely.
You obviously dont see how scrubbing the website to omit facts on the safe use of condoms and only focusing on the failure rate of condoms is not the best, most honest and most complete medical information that the American people should expect from the Centers for Disease Control.
But you think AIDS education is political, so I am not surprised.
If that is your position, I dont see the point of discussing it further. Others may be more masochistic and keep banging their heads against your brick wall.
