I do have some problems with Dr Carmona's silence during his tenure. First as a political appointee he must have known there will be pressure. If he accepted the position nonetheless, he either should have told the scientific truth,& faced the consequences - he after all assumed a tremendous responsibility as the nation's doctor - or he didn't feel too distressed at being muzzled.

  Like a misguided resident on rounds although the question wasn't directed at me, I'll answer it anyway. I also support Dr Carmona's truthful testimony as is everyone's duty when subpeonaed (sp?). My comments were directed at the surprise evinced at the political nature of the position and the failure to report the similar comments made by Koop and Satcher.

So you disagreed with Dr. Carmona's decision to
testify before Congress?

I am totally supportive of Dr. Richard Carmona's decision to testify before 
Congress. I support what he said. I support what Dr. Satcher and Koop 
said. Had I have been in their position, I would have said the same thing.
