Why is this not headline news?

White House doctored moratorium recommendation

Someone in the White House office of Carol Browner, Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change, changed a Department of the Interior report so that it appeared that a group of industry experts had "peer reviewed" and approved the recommendation that a drilling moratorium be imposed.

That, essentially, is the finding of a Department of the Interior Inspector General's report.

Eight experts made it very public, and very clear that they did not support the moratorium, imposed after the Deepwater Horizon disaster.

The IG report says that misleading edits to the Executive Summary of the report were made in Browner's office in the White House.

Perhaps the current occupants are taking lessons from the folks that produced the WMD documents for the previous occupants.

Hah! No one on Comedy Central is making kissy faces and talking about this, so the general public has no idea.

We are doomed!

All the "Intelligence Agencies" are concentrated around DC but we already know there is no intelligence there.
