US scientists banned from talking about polar bears.
Reported in today's UK Daily Mirror:

"George Bush has banned US government scientists from talking about polar bears when they go abroad. Sea ice and climate change are also taboo subjects. A leaked US Fish and Wildlife Service memo told staff to make it clear they 'will not be speaking on or responding to these issues.' Angry Green campaigners called the order censorship."
