WASHINGTON – 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.

bamo and his ilk believe that their opinions are the "truth", so it is morally OK for them to play loose with honesty and facts, because since they have "truth" and "right" on their side, everyone will be better off because of their actions. The old, the ends justify the means thinking.
