Once again, the radical religious nutjobs infesting the Bush Regime got their way, but this time a
shit-storm has developed as a result:
Lawmakers are again accusing the Food and Drug Administration of putting politics over science in the long-running saga over whether the morning-after pill should sell without a prescription.
A congressional audit released Monday cited "unusual" steps in the FDA's initial rejection of over-the-counter emergency contraception, including conflicting accounts of whether top officials made the decision even before scientists finished reviewing the evidence.
It gets better:
In a letter Monday, 18 lawmakers asked FDA's boss, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, to intervene to ensure the agency's final decision on Plan B isn't based on ideology. They also asked Leavitt to probe whether FDA illegally destroyed documents from McClellan's tenure that might have shed more light on the decision.
It appears that in an attempt to cover all this up, the Bush Administration might have broken some laws. I'm shocked.
