A transcript of O'Reilly and M Moore on the bottom of this page.
O'Reilly is Rush Limbaugh-lite like.
MM mentions once again, no special troops were sent to look for Osama in Afgahanistan for two months.

Willem hope this link works for you.
This is the union of concerned scientist
Related to the current administration.

Thanks a lot abbi, the link you have there did work!

This next quote sums it up for me, I mean, the way they ignore what the scientists are saying, because of their political precommitments:

“This is akin to the White House directing the National Weather Service to alter a hurricane forecast because they want everyone to think we have clear skies ahead,” said Kevin Knobloch, president of the Union of Concerned Scientists “The hurricane is still coming, but without factual information no one will be ready for it.”

Scientific integrity is amazingly important. Thanks again for this link! I might check out the website a bit further.

OOPS - sorry for those nasty swear words! Let me try again:

'This is akin to the White House directing the National Weather Service to alter a hurricane forecast because they want everyone to think we have clear skies ahead,' said Kevin Knobloch, president of the Union of Concerned Scientists. 'The hurricane is still coming, but without factual information no one will be ready for it.'

Ninety something percent of the voters in Afghanistan have registered voters cards and forty something percent are women

I hope those figures translate into actual free will voters.
If so - There just might be enough real hope to change things for the better!

Glad that link worked for you Willem.
