I have a headache

But politically, what I want is for the White House to be honest. In 1998, the Clinton administration’s HHS conducted some research on needle-exchange programs. Officials found that the programs curtailed the spread of AIDS and did not lead to more drug abuse, but the administration decided not to pursue the policy anyway. They acknowledged what the research told them, but said they’d decided to go in a different direction anyway.

In contrast, the Bush administration just makes up nonsense, denies reality, and intentionally deceives. It’s rather embarrassing.
