Quite new and do not yet have much in-depth analyses compared to the conservative and libertarian think tanks.

Still, articles like this are interesting

When the Bush administration has a political objective, it doesn't let science get in its way. Yesterday, the Union of Concerned Scientists released a report documenting a host of new examples in which Bush officials have inappropriately interfered with scientific judgment to support the president's predetermined agenda.

Among other things, the administration has sought to ensure the political fealty of scientific advisory committees; suppressed information on environmental damage from mountaintop mining; and doctored data to downplay risks to endangered species.

I always thought of cepr ( http://www.cepr.net/ ) as a liberal think tank on economics, though I think they'd hate the label. To their credit I've seen them slam the democratic party on many occasions; they seem fair for the most part, they just have liberal ideologies to start with. They used to be interesting to me because they were liberal economists. Who had heard of liberals caring about economics?

Since the role is reversed these days they aren't so unusual.
