The report also documents a number of scientists complaining that they were asked who they had voted for in the Presidential elections when being interviewed for various scientific panels.

Wowzer. It's a common misconception that the most terrifying thing about the attitude of the administration under Bush is its contempt for human rights, freedom of speech, privacy and all that other shit that gets in the way of the serious busines of government. Increasingly, I disagree. What seems to me disturbing is that they appear not really to have considered how to go about government at all before actually taking power, and have been busking it like their kickbacks depended on it. I just feel sorry for the poor scientist who had to explain the idea of secret ballots to a pair of visibly confused interviewers.
