Default Report says Klamath panel erred

(Grow Some Brains) wrote in message . com...
Klamath Basin water fight has highly organized interests attempting to
assert domination over finite water supplies. The large number of
organizations and the financial clout of these organizations calls
into question any "scientific report" of only two researchers, who
widely circulated their report to one side of the issue before
publication. Bias and conflict of interest investigations are
appropriate.

I think you are confusing reports issued by political action groups
and scientists. It is easy to tell which report is being controlled by
which biased reporting site. It also puts a lot of egg on supposed
"government" scientists which were acting, in actuality, as stooges
for the Bush administration.

The "questions" raised by this report are insubstantial, interim
mistakes likely to be caught before final decisions, such as
misidentifying the name of a fish species.

No. The fish mentioned in the report does not exist in the Klamath
River drainage. This is not a mere scientific oversight, but a gross
opinion piece.
Other reports, made at such
grave risk to employment security as to invoke whistleblower
protection, provide a contrary viewpoint, and lead to opposite
conclusions. While issues reported in the press may be hastily
published without thorough fact-checking, over time the underlying
biosociopathy will be evident.

That well describes the government's viewpoint. I hadn't thought of
using the term "biosociopathy", but it _does_ seem to apply here.
