Sixteenth Annual List of the Jefferson Muzzle “Winners”

The Sixteenth Annual List of the Jefferson Muzzle “winners” is out. The unprecedented degree of political interference in communicating government-funded scientific research to the public has earned the Bush Administration a 2007 Jefferson Muzzle. For the sixteenth straight year, the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression is celebrating the April birth date of its namesake by calling attention to some of the more egregious or ridiculous affronts to free expression that occurred in the preceding year. Books play a central role in this year’s awards.
