That is corruption. They went before a Fed Judge with this document knowing it misrepresented the truth... a lie... in court.
They should go after Salazar and his Dept. and the lawyers that knowingly doctored the report and let it go before the Judge/Court to deceive him into bringing about a decision they wanted.

I guess this can be filed under never waste a crisis.
I recall Obama's election claim repeatedly he had tremendous judgment.:roll:

This man is Machiavellian.

Remember this?

this is not transparency
this is obfuscation

this is NOT change we can believe in
 
If it's proven that the administration, intentionally altered data to support it's agenda and at the same time, putting tens of thousands of Americans out of work, there needs to be a serious investigation. Not sure if that would be a crime, but it damn sure oughta be.
 

no. the administration has an authority to impose a moratorium, which would potentially have negative economic consequences
but the administration is being disingenuous when it attempts to paint its decision as one which received the assent of a peer review
that is an overt attempt to shirk responsibility for the administration's actions/decisions. if the administration can justify its basis for issuing the moratorium, then that is what should be expressed. it should not mislead the public in its attempt to portray the peer review as having blessed the administration's actions
 
this is devastating (tho not in the least surprising)

this was the INSPECTOR GENERAL from obnoxious obama's own INTERIOR DEPT (ken salazar) making this REPORT

it frankly charges the white house with downplaying the SCIENCE of bp at the expense of POLITICS

the administration MISREPRESENTED the data

in other words, our leaders LIED

the INSPECTOR GENERAL specifically debunks white house claims that its "findings" were PEER REVIEWED

only ONE MONTH ago, obfuscating obama's own SPILL COMMISSION reached the exact same conclusions

from the op:


ah, so the ivy hall elitists are liars

the peers reviewed retracted:

All seven experts asked to review the Interior Department's work expressed concern about the change made by the White House, saying that it differed in important ways from the draft they had approved.

do you remember a few weeks ago when obtuse obama cited FACTS and SCIENCE and ARGUMENT as he most recently INSULTED the knuckle dragging electorate which only days later would REPEAL and REPLACE 65 congressfolk, 6 senators, 10 governors and 20 state legislatures out of pelosi's party of progressivism?


Obama: Voters 'Scared,' Not Thinking Clearly About Election - FoxNews.com

ah, the bit about the LIZARD BRAIN, again

obtuse obama's "science," it turns out, is as bad as his economics, heck, as bereft even as his basic arithmetic

STILL not embarrassed?

perfect

party on

keep pelosi

Oh, going before the court with falsified documents, and selling their case using those doctored docs, and having the judge make his ruling on that evidence is criminal.

Calling Congressman Issa... calling Congressman Issa... Congressman Issa... pick up the Red Phone please.

Jindal and Barber need to be all over this.

I wonder if this gets traction soon, if at all. Will anyone other than Fox cover this on television?
 
I see the liberals are staying away in droves. Either they are also pissed, or they have not yet received their opinions and marching orders from Olbermann and Maddow.

The moment you say "liberals are staying away," we're more likely to stay away. Because then it looks like they're responding because of your prodding.

Wait. That's what I'm doing. DAMNIT.

Anyway. This sounds like some shady business. I'd like to see the original report and the edits that the White House made. This is the kind of bull**** that always happens when you let politicians and bureaucrats get ahold of the work done by scientists before its published. Dictator Deuce would never allow such things.

For right know Pissed off liberal, until I am fully informed on this subject to form an opinion on this until I hear more. I will comment later on this subject, but I will say I disapprove of this admissibly. .

Yep! A federal judge did look at this case, twice. Looks like a crime to me.

This isn't news, ya know. It's been common knowledge since the first day of the moritorium, that the expert panel never recommended a drilling halt.

And, you've supported those tyrannical bastards all along.
 

When Libbos oppose Obama, it's just lip service, anyway.

You were all 100% behind the moratorium, from the git-go. The experts on the panel said back then, "we never suggested a drilling ban", and every last one of you jumped on the band wagon, anyway.

I am not sure who your talking about here, because I was not saying I supported it. And no it hasn't been common Knowledge that they did edit it until the moratorium was already almost signed. Please tell me, when I supported this moratorium at all.in. Apdst I have supported states right above all else, and the rights of the people voting for a ban but never did I actually support the measure.

There is little synchronicity between what scientists want, politicians want, and the people want. This is less about what environmentalists desire and more about what the American people expect in response to disaster.

So, are we supposed to believe that you opposed the moratorium? Right!!!

Please, your the one that are labeling us as supporters of a bill that we never claimed to support.

You're more interested in mockery, than in answering the question.

BTW, I'm not white, so that's a crappy comparison.
 

The WSJ was working this story months ago... when the experts were pissed their recommendations were altered, as they believed it would do greater harm and put us at greater risk for future drilling probs. Journolists, as usual, looked the other way and were heard humming "Hey Bama, Oh Bama, Bama Bama, O-bama."

A DP thread dating from June 17, 2010 about this matter.

There should be "synchronicity"... ahhh... true representations of statements of experts when going before a Judge or Court.

Most American certainly do not expect the government to falsify documents before a judge, but there are certain elements (obviously the Obama Admin) that don't really care about the means... but their politically motivated... ideological result. It's how we get statements like... we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it... type garbage. It's how you get Black Panther cases tossed by the DOJ. In a similar vein, it's how you get Sandy Burgler stuffing docs down his pants from the National Archives... docs related to Clinton and 911... and then destroying the evidence.

What we have here is ideology trumping truthful representation of expert witnesses.

Throw the book at the Interior Dept. bums and anyone else involved.
