This week we’ve been tallying up all the instances Bush administration officials have attempted to remove data from the public record or block its publication, particularly if it was in conflict with White House policy.

Thanks to the help of readers, fellow bloggers and watchdog organizations, we’ve by now counted over 20 examples: databases pulled from public view, reports suppressed, studies de-funded and more, in areas like climate change, unemployment, poverty and the Iraq war.

You can find the growing list here. Know of another instance? Let us know.
