White House 'Muzzled' Top Doctor on Touchy Issues

"The first surgeon-general appointed by George W. Bush has accused the White House of political interference and muzzling him on key issues such as embryonic stem cell research. Richard Carmona, who served as the senior US doctor from 2002 until 2006, said the President's appointees controlled medical politics. 'Anything that does not fit the ideological, theological or political agenda is ignored, marginalised or simply buried,' Dr Carmona told a Congress committee." Facing facts is not Georgie's best subject...he thinks he has the power to "decide" them away, whether they pertain to science or the success of his foreign invasions.
