Reply #2: Ah, but who listens to scientists?

They would only have an actual idea of whether this information was *useful in showing how to build a bomb*. Far better to listen to the *Rebublican congress* who *obviously* don't have any *naked political reason* to want it to look like their support of the war was valid.

This just kills me, not that Bush et als act in purely self-serving ways without caring who it could hurt, but that they do it so damn obviously and ignorantly. And that the objections never made it to the top is also just too damn sad--they can't hear criticism--not from experts, not from anyone.
