So, yes, there should be an objective forensic examination of the UEA CRU computers -- but the British government is so invested in AGW that this scandal is hardly being reported there. The chance of an honest investigation is minimal.

Our government funds some of their research. The British socialists may be unwilling to investigate this culture of corruption but our own financial stake permits us recourse.

Just as international Nigerian banking scams can be prosecuted on both ends of the wire.

Technically, yes, but realistically by whom? The Obama DOJ? Don't hold your breath.

BTW, an FOI request can be filed in Britain by virtually anyone in the world; it's not limited to UK citizens. And we've seen how those requests were handled.

Inhofe needs to keep beating the drum, regardless of the results/non-results. The best hope is to keep this scandal in the news, even on the peripheral level to which the MSM has reduced it.
