CDC and the White House

A good cartoon tells it the best sometimes. I am behind on this story, and a bunch of other folks have covered this really well. Such as Mr. Mooney, Pugwash, and Mr. Mad Biologist. So all I have to offer is this clever cartoon by David Horsey from my local newspaper. The incident referred to is just the latest in a string of censorship that our great leader has perpetrated against science.
I would like to think that this sort of thing will not continue after Jan 20, 2009. But something deep inside me feels like the threat of political interference in science will always be there...
