Were vetted by at least 3 different (reputable) organizations - who found that the scientists were acting stupidly, but their research was sound. Scientific research is a (never ending) search for truth. Don't confuse the "searchers" with the end results (truth).

For some (strange) reason, I kind of like that a single person can expose government fraud like that. A private in the Army can show the world how full of sht we are . . .
