The American Civil Liberties Union released a report Tuesday describing what it calls an "assault on scientific and academic freedom" by the Bush Administration. The report purports to detail how the US government has attacked the free exchange of technology information in the name of homeland security by imposing more restrictions on the flow of scientific data. Since September 11, the act of classifying information for reasons of Homeland Security has increased greatly, affecting many areas of science.
