The OSC letter is a bogus report written for Souder, who was looking for persecution. First, it's not the result of a full investigation, just a sympathetic lawyer looking through stuff. Second, it has blatant false conclusions. For example, it says there's no evidence he mishandled anything, yet right there is an earlier letter about his mishandling of artifacts, and another by his supervisor to him about his loans from the library.
And even then all I see in this list is some hostility. Boo hoo. Your fellow workers are mad at you for making them look bad? The rank and file scientists there reasonably didn't want to be associated with Sternberg after what he pulled. As I said before, people were calling for his head, but nothing actually happened. Those people didn't get their way.
Now show me something that the SI management actually did to him for his beliefs or quit this whole baseless charade. You said he was "kicked out," right? Show me him actually being kicked out. Show me how losing his keys was because of his beliefs. Show me how moving offices was because of his beliefs. Show me how he lost access to collections because of his beliefs. Show me something other than a whining "they don't like me here anymore because of my dishonest and unscientific actions." By his actions in this case I'd think he was a whining liberal.
Prove it. It is a document produced by an official government entity and is posted on an official government system. It is official.
And it is more than hostility, it was an active conspiracy to remove Sternberg from the Smithsonian. That is indisputable.
By your logic Squeaky Fromme was innocent because she missed Gerald Ford. Yeah right! /sarc
