The Democrats’ Clown War On Science: FDA caught snooping on its own scientists.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  July 15th at 10:00 AM  | 

Most transparent administration EVAR, my eye: A wide-ranging surveillance operation by the Food and Drug Administration against a group of its own scientists used an enemies list of sorts as it secretly captured thousands of e-mails that the disgruntled scientists sent privately to members of Congress, lawyers, labor officials, journalists and even President Obama, previously undisclosed records show. What began as a narrow investigation into | Read More »
