Bush's Censor Quits NASA

The story of this young man has been getting some attention lately, so this
was certain to come:

George C. Deutsch, the young presidential appointee at NASA who told
public affairs workers to limit reporters’ access to a top climate scientist
and told a Web designer to add the word “theory” at every mention of the Big
Bang, resigned yesterday, agency officials said.

Mr. Deutsch’s resignation came on the same day that officials at Texas
A&M University confirmed that he did not graduate from there, as his résumé
on file at the agency asserted.

Officials at NASA headquarters declined to discuss the reason for the
resignation.

“Under NASA policy, it is inappropriate to discuss personnel matters,”
said Dean Acosta, the deputy assistant administrator for public affairs and
Mr. Deutsch’s boss.

The resignation came as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
was preparing to review its policies for communicating science to the
public. The review was ordered Friday by Michael D. Griffin, the NASA
administrator, after a week in which many agency scientists and midlevel
public affairs officials described to The New York Times instances in which
they said political pressure was applied to limit or flavor discussions of
topics uncomfortable to the Bush administration, particularly global
warming.

Deutsch was only 24 and appointed this position by Bush. Apparently it was
just so he could oversee what information gets released to the media. Bush has a
great level of hatred for our environment and this is just another piece of
evidence that proves that theory.
