It isn't just the e-mails, it is the other data that was released along with the e-mails. And really, that data is more important than the e-mails in showing that these "scientists" were indeed cooking the books.

...and that is exactly why the MSM, when it does talk about this, focuses on the emails. The republicans in Congress are too ignorant to realize that the gems are in the data.

IIRC, someone at MIT found a basic mathematical flaw in the codes released.

This is true. It bothers me that the balance of "FOIA2009.zip" (which is the much larger portion of the file) is rarely mentioned.

There are hundreds of fortran programs, and dozens of compressed files within compressed files. It will take huge numbers of man hours for anyone to try to re-assemble them in any definitive way. There are, of course, dozens of errors - as in all code. The tough thing is to try to determine what the particular piece of code was used for, and if it was pertinent in any publication.

I'm still suspect about the origin of this "release". There's quite a bit of exculpatory evidence in these files if anyone looks. I'm afraid that they may be part of a purposeful leak - and we're about to be deluged with defenses found in FOIA.zip.

Of course I realize I am the only person in the world that is that paranoid!
