This is sent blind, I don't have the time right now to check out the web sites and I'm trusting my sources more than I like to, but... Apparently http://www.junkscience.com is advocating a provision that'd make federally funded science subject to lots of Freedom of Information Act issues. Unfortunately this would make things like participants in surveys public, things like that, that are a really bad idea. A Washington Post article about the Shelby Amendment should provide further reading.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
