As Bush's deceit becomes more blatant, thousands die

The Bush administration continues to deny AIDS prevention and treatment funding to programs that use the clean needle exchange program. Now, the White House--constantly accused of ignoring science--is citing the results of three different studies to "prove" its contention that there is no real evidence that clean needles prevent AIDS.

The problem is that in all three studies, the research scientists clearly advocate clean needle programs. One of the studies yields an unequivacable clean needle effectiveness result. Another of the studies was done by a group unheard of by world scientists, but which is known to have strong ties to the Bush administration. The third study questions the methodology of some clean needle studies, but concludes that there is ample evidence that clean needle programs reduce the spread of AIDS.

The Bush administration has taken portions of these studies out of context and twisted their meaning in order to justify their active participation in the needless deaths of thousands of people, including babies and children. No one is stopping them, and the Christians wonder why other countries hate us so much.
