The Washington Post’s story has Congressmen claiming that Griffith was telling the IG staff what he considered to be proper and improper areas they should be investigating. If true (and I don’t know), then that is questionable.

So the whole ‘safe simple soon’ thing is off, eh?

The IG thing is just the tip of the iceberg here. Perchlorate contamination is pervasive, we’re looking at a guaranteed climate catastrophe, and these are the guys in charge of our space program, possibly our only hope at coming to grips with the reality of planet Earth. Why do the vast majority of educated American scientists and engineers continue to remain silent on this?

It seems like the bigger problem with the budget is that the WH isn’t requesting the proper level of funding. At least with space, it seems difficult for Congress to force this (or any) administration to spend a lot more money than it wants to on NASA. Is Bush properly supporting his own initiative?

As for the political briefings, I don’t think the results of the November elections are very important in trying to figure out whether they were proper or not. They either followed the law or they didn’t. And how do you know whether these sorts of political activities didn’t help stem repub losses in the elections? Seems like you need to do a little more research to determine how these actions may have affected the election.

Word has it that Griffin wasn’t in the best of moods during his trip to MSFC last Thursday. I’m sure that the latest spat with Sen. Shelby and the reinstatement of the lunar projects office is weighing heavily on his mind.

I bet you’ll be seeing some changes in MSFC over the next few weeks.
