Department of Labor officials, who adjudicated the proceedings, sided with Mr. Lewis down the line. EPA settled the case and last month issued him an apology. Bad science does not protect the environment. She has let EPA's science organization go without a permanent head for much of her administration, buried scientists in bureaucratic red tape, and aggressively punished those who speak out about the agency's problems. Mr. McIntosh and Mr. Lewis deserve credit for making the case for sound science and, ultimately, sound public policy.
Bad policy protects the environment and public health no better than bad science.
