Thats right. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Even on a watchdog forum like FReerepublic people are frequently critisized for pointing out anomalies.

Picture Scarface Capone at the Doctor's:

Doctor: "Mr. Capone I have some bad news."
Capone: "Oh, yeah? Wassat?"
Doctor: "Your x-ray shows what I suspect may be malignant tumors in your lungs."
Capone: "Izzat right ... well Doc NOBODY mocks AL CAPONE, nobody. You say I ain't right .... why then say hello to Mister Tommy Gun!"

< < brr-rup, brr-rup, brr-rup, slpat, splat splat > >

Doctor, dying gasps: "But Al, I'm just the trying to help you .... arrghh!"
Capone: "Sure, doc ... here help my big friggin' foot!"
Capone viciously and wildly kicks the fallen Doctor in the body and face ...
Capone's bodyguard: "Great Boss! He was just a Disruptor! He wuzzn't a Team Player! Day ain't nuttin' wrong with Big Al!"
Capone: "Hey Tony, gimme 5!"

Top NASA administrators are now claiming these e-mails were never forwarded to them from the lower depths. I think that is probably BS.

This thing is going to be a major scandal. The NASA gag order, issued immediately after the disaster, has already been revealed in the Enquirer.

The Human ego being the enemy it so loves to be and the master it so often is, the Cult of Personality is only ever -- at best -- just waiting around the corner.

This NASA handout photo, presented during a news conference at the Johnson Space Center in Houston February 25, 2003, shows a single thermal protection system tile from the Space Shuttle Columbia. A piece of tile, thrown off from the doomed shuttle Columbia as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere and recovered in Texas, bears deformations consistent with the kind of hot plasma flow that entered the shuttle through a breach, investigators said.
