In recent years, scientists who work for and advise the federal government have seen their work manipulated, suppressed, and distorted, while agencies have systematically limited public and policy maker access to critical scientific information. To document this abuse, the Union of Concerned Scientists has created the A to Z Guide to Political Interference in Science.
From air pollution to Ground Zero, the A to Z Guide showcases dozens of examples of the misuse of science on issues like childhood lead poisoning, toxic mercury contamination, and endangered species.

Interesting website. However it is biased as heck. For example global warming, the website treat it as fact, while there are plenty of respected scientist, including a highly regarded hurricane scientist who is of the opinion (with data to back him up) that global warming is in fact nothing more that a meteorological cycle that constantly occurs.
I find it interesting that your own newsletters are taking more of a political / social agenda type of bent. What once were some decent technology newsletters have become a mouth piece for your own activism than technological advancement.
