ace, those are the facts!
She may not have broken the law; she just violated federal regulations by interfering with scientific field reports and sharing those nonpublic reports (draft reports in progress) with affected industries.
Exactly! It is political manipulation of the work and findings by career scientists. That is the whole point of this entire thread!
And you still dont see anything wrong with that?

Sure, I see what she did is wrong.
What I don't see is a clear connection to the Bush Administration. I doubt high level people in the bush Administration have given this issue, about a fish, much if any thought.
What I don't see is how this particular issue is anything other than a political issue, on both sides. Environmentalist are not above doing the things you accuse the administration of doing.
What I don't see is a pattern of how these issues elevate to making Bush the worst abuser of scientific data by any President in our history as suggested by many in the scientific community, many who have a political agenda.
This fight, over a fish, has been a heated and emotional battle over a number of years going back prior to Bush. If this issue has not been politicized, I don't know what would ever qualify.
I don't dispute the facts.
