The Interior Department's inspector general says the White House edited a drilling safety report in a way that made it falsely appear that scientists and experts supported the administration's six-month ban on new drilling.
The inspector general says the editing changes resulted "in the implication that the moratorium recommendation had been peer reviewed." But it hadn't been. The scientists were only asked to review new safety measures for offshore drilling.
The science has been settled. They agreed on how to fake it to reach their policy goals. They don't like the domestic drilling industry and are against jobs in the Gulf for whatever reason so they faked the peer review to get their way. Could this be a precursor to what will happen if they try to ram Cap-and-Trade through the Senate or use an end-around via the EPA?
