Cherry Picked

The latest intelligence cherry picked by the Bush administration has me smokin' mad. Read on from the NYT:

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday that "no sound scientific studies" supported the medical use of marijuana, contradicting a 1999 review by a panel of highly regarded scientists.

They pick, they choose, they make up their own rules.

The federal government "loves to ignore our report," said Dr. Benson, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. "They would rather it never happened."

Some scientists and legislators said the agency's statement about marijuana demonstrated that politics had trumped science.

Contradictory evidence about WMDs, ignored. Contradictory evidence about mobile bio-labs, ignored. Darwin, who's he? Science fact, is science fiction. It's gonna be a long three years. God Science help us.

Smoke more.
