Beam me to Planet Gore !
But here is some key information from the article:
**************************************EXCERPT*****************************************
Gleick’s lawyer, John Keker, suggested that any legal action by Heartland would become another front in the long-running climate battle.
“Dr. Gleick looks forward to using discovery to understand more about the veracity of the documents, lay bare the implications of Heartland’s propaganda plans and, in particular, determine once and for all who is truly behind Heartland and why,” he wrote in an e-mail.
Loom at the weasel threaten honest men, trying to stay away from responsibility for his actions.
There is nothing to “discover”. He did it, and admitted it.
Can you imagine - a judge saying “yes - you are right - this is a forged document, presented by a law breaking theif. By all means - you have reason to pursue discovery of your target’s data”.
What a wacko. By this system - I could declare “Obama wants HHS to kill us all” - on HHS letterhead. Then - if tried - I would claim I could “investigate” every memo they had under “discovery”.
So - fine - let the judge say “discovery is open”. I’ll write the memos. The only question is = HHS or Energy or EPA first?
This self-outed activist is in Algore heaven.
I think the reality side of this argument would benefit from any Discovery process. The downside of it is that it gives the green/AGW thugs the names of a bunch of people and other information about them like addresses and schedules, etc.
