DELETIONS AND SECRETIONS

We've often made it a point (or tried to) that the complete sentence differs greatly from the complete truth. Well, there is a recent example and its a beaut. It seems the vice in the presidency, Dick Cheney, had his office delete from senate testimony a health officials remarks to the effect that global warming may represent health risks to us all. The official (a Democrat to be fair) has resigned from the environmental protection agency (he was chief advisor on the climate to the EPA head administrator) because we guess that was all he could stands and he could stands no more. His exact words were that Mr. Cheney and chums (isn't that what they use to attract sharks with?) "were seeking deletions" of descriptions of the health risks (so obvious) from the warming. In answer, Oklahoma Senator James M. Inhofe (R) said "all administrations edit testimony" (even when its the truth?). Why couldn't they (in tribute to Alberto Gonzales just be honest and figure we wouldn't recall?
