Leaked e-mails allegedly undermining climate change science should be treated as a criminal matter, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said Wednesday afternoon.
Boxer, the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said that the recently released e-mails, showing scientists allegedly overstating the case for climate change, should be treated as a crime.
"You call it 'Climategate'; I call it 'E-mail-theft-gate,'" she said during a committee meeting. "Whatever it is, the main issue is, Are we facing global warming or are we not? I'm looking at these e-mails, that, even though they were stolen, are now out in the public."
The e-mails, from scientists at the University of East Anglia, were obtained through hacking. The messages showed the director of the university's Climate Research Unit discussing ways to strengthen the unit's case for global warming. Climate change skeptics have seized on the e-mails, arguing that they demonstrate manipulation in environmental science.
Boxer said her committee may hold hearings into the matter as its top Republican, Sen. James Inhofe (Okla.), has asked for, but that a criminal probe would be part of any such hearings.
"We may well have a hearing on this, we may not. We may have a briefing for senators, we may not," Boxer said. "Part of our looking at this will be looking at a criminal activity which could have well been coordinated.

If there’s anyone who can lessen my embarassment with Patty Murray, it’s you Babs. Good God that woman is weapons-grade stupid!
Boxer makes worms seem intelligent.
Oops, I am sorry, I meant to say Senaaatorr Boxers.
Acorn is shown to be a federally funded criminal enterprise... The reaction of a number of state AGs? File charges against the people who did the sting.
A PI finds that Acorn has been illegally disposing of documents (many of which may have been under supbpeana) and turns them in? The reaction of Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown, CA AG? File charges against the PI for "illegal dumpster diving."
A world wide criminal enterprise that's in the process of committing fraud on a scale that mankind has NEVER seen, dwarfing Enron, Tyco, Global Crossing, Worldcom, and Madoff COMBINED is exposed, and Boxer wants to file charges against the whistle-blowers.
Typical.

In my dreams, the hackers would receive the Medal of Freedom. And since I’m dreaming, it would be bestowed by President Fred Thompson.
Remember the letters and memos regarding Miguel Estrada’s nomination that the judiciary committee had stored on their servers? The ones that discussed stalling his nomination until the affirmative action case was ruled on by the circuit court?
Those documents were on an unprotected server, the dumb idiots just thought “Hey, nobody will ever find them because they are mixed in with thousands of other files...”
Liberals are just dumber than crap about security. And they have the gall to ridicule Richard Nixon for keeping his tapes...
A Senator who is in need of a read, "How to Win Friends and Influence People".
It's a sad scenario.
She wants green? She needs to be recycled next election day.
OOOHHH great idea! 2010....recycle Congress......VOTE THEM OUT!
What charges did she propose be levied agains David Kernell, the son of a Democratic Tennessee legislator, when he hacked into Sarah Palin’s email account?
STFUB, no one is listening to your drivel.
Hey Boxster
I want a criminal probe of every instutition that is advocating Cap n Trade, and Global Warming legislation here in the United States.
And I want it NOW, you Cow!
How does Boxer find her way home at night?
Of course this traitor would say this...Boxer is going to protect the real criminals engaged in fraud. Birds of a feather...
