Grumble, grumble

The Bush Administration war on information continues. In addition to the disgusting memo claiming they don't have to obey the 4th amendment, they also are deleting articles about abortion, and disallowing "abortion" as a search term.

Yes, if you search for "abortion" in this particular government search engine, nothing comes out.

That's just dumb. No matter what your opinion of abortion is, putting your fingers in your ears and screaming "la la la" isn't going to solve anything.

And since we've seen the failures of abstinence-only education over the last few years, you wish we had a government that learned from its mistakes.

But this administration isn't about results. It's about principles. Even if the goal of "protecting life" is totally lost in standing on principle.
