Yes, this whole thing is just too sweet isn’t it? All these inconvenient truths getting in the way of their little Danish Inquisition.

LMAO.

It’s good to see these twits hoisted by their own petard.

I’ve read a number of excerpts of the Harry_readme file. Looks a whole lot like the programmer, whose task I do not envy at all, acknowledges huge missing gaps and anomalies in the data and his inability to reconcile it all without literally making things up.

And at this point, I *can’t* compare it to the original data, because, oh yeah, they’ve conveniently lost it. Nor, apparently, can they tell us exactly how they modified the data. And don’t try to tell me that they couldn’t keep the originals around for space reasons — that’s just completely ridiculous.

What I knew all along is that they were behaving suspiciously and unethically. Yes, I have a preconceived notion of AGW — it’s not proven, and I suspect their motives in trying to tell all of us that it was when they’d done no such thing, and vilifying us when we dared to question.

The ones acting like creationists here are the AGW advocate-scientists. I just want them to *do science* and stop promulgating articles of faith.

Have you looked at what was released and compared it to what was actually done with the data? Or are you merely accepting what was handed to you because it lines up with your preconceived notions on AGW? Dig a little deeper and see if what is said in those emails is how they actually behaved in the end. You state repeatedly that you “knew it” as though you were precogniscent of some shady dealings. But on what evidence?

Kill the gross rhetoric and grandiose claims. You didn’t “know” it and now you sound just like the crazed Creationists decrying the “Darwinist’s” persecution of them.

Look at the data, not the hyperbole. It’s what scientists do, in spite of their personal beliefs. You hold them to that standard, why not yourself?

Sincerely, Timur Alhimenkov.

The failures of 2002-2004 by our government for domestic political purposes, specifically the constant soft-pedaling about conditions on the ground as things deteriorated to protection political careers and reelections, constitute a massive failure of America to look after its responsibilities in Iraq.

After such treatment, and after leaving Iraqis to live with no order, little security, completely inadequate utilities and government services, a shattered economy, non-functional government bureaucracies, and a marginally functional but mostly corrupt government for years while US politicians played damage control, blame games, buck passing, flat-out denial, meaningless media propaganda dog-and-pony shows, manipulation of statistics, and flag-waving rhetoric; I can’t blame Iraqis for being angry. I am ashamed that our government was more interested in CYA than trying to address the real problems as they happened. The failure was not one of the troops, but one of leadership allowing warring domestic ideologies to trump the truth and real-world obligations.

For that, I can’t blame Iraqis for being ungrateful.
