American Psychiatric Association Says Bush Administration "Appreciative" of APA Efforts to Suppress British Medical Journal Articles in Mainstream Media
The American Psychiatric Association is bragging in its own membership newsletter that they pleased the Bush Administration by suppressing the British Medical Journal article appearances in mass media.
You can read this on the APA's own web site here.
And here is the text itself:

Excerpted from American Psychiatric Association Advocacy News July 2004.
11. Freedom Commission Roadmap Awaited
"The release of the first iteration of the roadmap to operationalize the findings of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health is imminent.
"We will disseminate the document when it is unveiled. On a related note, the British Medical Journal, in anticipation of the roll-out, alleged in a disjointed story that the Bush administration will announce a plan to screen all Americans for mental disorders and promote antidepressant and antipsychotic drug use -- allegations which we are told are well beyond the scope of anything the administration has planned and which seem to stem from a psychiatric survivors group.
"The BMJ story has gained some traction in derivative reports on the Internet, though mainstream media have not touched the story, in part thanks to APA's work, for which the administration is appreciative."
