Oh come on, you know damned well that the CRU is legally constrained by agreements they signed in the past not to redistribute much of the raw data that was shared with them. You cannot obviate the need for a public (legislative) solution to a public problem by dimly insisting that CRU’s status prevents them from being what they obviously are, bound by their word. Especially since the vast majority of CRU’s work long predates both the political importance of the topic and british freedom of information laws.

Both the US and UK have F.O.I. Laws. Sometimes, like Gov. Palin on Reform, one gets “Hoist by his/her own Petard.” -S-
