Bad Deeds for 3-8-07

Internal Memos Tell US Officials How to Discuss Climate Change – Internal memorandums circulated in the Alaskan division of the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service appear to require government biologists or other employees traveling in countries around the Arctic not to discuss climate change, polar bears or sea ice if they are not designated to do so.

FBI Violated Patriot Act Guidelines According to Report – The FBI repeatedly failed to follow the strict guidelines of the Patriot Act when its agents took advantage of a new provision allowing the FBI to obtain phone and financial records without a court order, according to a report to be made public Friday by the Justice Department’s Inspector General.

FOX News’ Hannity & Colmes has ignored the Walter Reed Hospital investigation and the hearings about the firings of federal prosecutors – If you only watch Fox News, there are some stories you just won’t see. Hannity & Colmes, FOX News’ prime time debate show, has yet to discuss the Walter Reed Hospital investigation or the hearings about the firings of federal prosecutors. There was a short discussion of the Scooter Libby trial with a panel consisting of three people who, essentially, all shared the same conservative views. How “fair and balanced” is that?

Another of Sean Hannity’s “Great Americans”
Cpl. Matt Sanchez appeared on Hannity & Colmes to talk about an alleged incident of being called a baby killer by members of Columbia University’s International Socialist Organization. So eager was Sean Hannity to embrace this “victim” of liberal hate (which Columbia, though it investigated the incident, never confirmed) that nobody at FOX News seems to have bothered to do any kind of background check. Had they done the research, FOX News would have discovered that Corporal Sanchez was also known as Rod Majors, a gay porn star and a $200-an-hour male prostitute.

Fox News Proclaims Scooter Libby Not Guilty
At 12:19 p.m. est, March 6th, Fox News proclaimed across the bottom of their screen that Scotter Libby was Found ‘Not Guilty’ of lying to FBI Investigators. Their graphic did not mention the four charges on which Libby was found guilty. Related posting

NASA Inspector General May Have Suppressed Investigations – Allegations include:
“…failed to follow up on reported safety violations and had outed whistleblowers to their bosses.”
“…suppressed investigations of wrongdoing within NASA, and abused and penalized his own investigators when they persisted in raising concerns.”

“…quashing investigations related to a malfunctioning self-destruct procedure during a space shuttle launch at the Kennedy Space Center and the theft of an estimated $1.9 billion worth of data on rocket engines from NASA computers.”

Clear Lake area state Rep. John Davis filed improper campaign expenses
