 US FTC Decides Not to Ban Nuclear Ads, New York Times Says
  
Washington, Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Federal Trade Commission ruled 
that while industry advertisements made unsubstantiated claims about the 
benefits of nuclear power, the ads shouldn't be banned because they are 
political speech protected under the First Amendment, the New York Times 
reported.  The FTC agreed with the Better Business Bureau and the Natural 
Resources Defense Council that the ads by the Nuclear Energy Institute -- 
published in the New Republic, the Atlantic Monthly, the New York Times, Roll 
Call and the Hill -- made exaggerated claims about the environmental 
advantages of nuclear power, the paper said.

[text deleted]  I find it hard to believe that an organization that distorts 
facts and information is credible at all.  So even if they are on the right 
side of some issues since I know they lie and distort information, I can't 
trust them to be truthful on other issues.
