CNN.com - Bush administration rejects Clarke charges - Mar 23, 2004
[CNN]
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Top members of the Bush administration sharply rebuffed their former counterterrorism chief Monday, calling his assertions in a new book about the White House's handling of terrorism and Iraq "deeply irresponsible" and "flat-out wrong." National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said Richard Clarke had engaged in a "retrospective rewriting of the history." In his book "Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror, " published Monday, Clarke accuses the Bush administration of ignoring repeated warnings about an al Qaeda threat in 2001 and looking for an excuse to attack Iraq at the expense of battling terrorism
Maybe, we'll never know." Clarke's book offers the first perspective on Bush's performance on Iraq and the war on terrorism from someone who was on the inside.() Some administration officials questioned Clarke's motives, suggesting he had a partisan agenda
Clarke has served under both Democratic and Republican administrations
Rice, who is among the top officials berated in the book -- and to whom Clarke answered in his role in the administration -- flatly denied Clarke's accusation that she failed to act on his January 2001 "urgent" memo calling for a meeting on the possibility of an al Qaeda attack

CNN.com - Scientists: Bush administration distorts research - Feb ... [CNN]
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush's administration distorts scientific findings and seeks to manipulate experts' advice to avoid information that runs counter to its political beliefs, a private organization of scientists asserted on Wednesday
The Union of Concerned Scientists contended in a report that 'the scope and scale of the manipulation, suppression and misrepresentation of science by the Bush administration is unprecedented.' 'We're not taking issue with administration policies
We're taking issue with the administration's distortion ..
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said he had not seen the report but that the administration 'makes decisions based on the best available science.' White House science adviser John Marburger said he found the report 'somewhat disappointing ..
because it makes some sweeping generalizations about policy in this administration that are based on a random selection of incidents and issues.' He added, 'I don't think it makes the case for the sweeping accusations that it makes.' Marburger acknowledged that the complaint was signed by a wide assortment of prominent scientists, including Nobel Prize winners and recipients of the National Medal of Science
