    The probe came at the request of 14 senators after The Washington Post and other news outlets reported in 2006 that Bush administration officials had monitored and impeded communications between NASA climate scientists and reporters.

    "Our government's response to global warming must be based on science, and the Bush Administration's manipulation of that information violates the public trust."
