"Phil Jones, the director of the CRU and the man at the heart of Climategate. According to one of the documents hacked from his center, between 2000 and 2006 Mr. Jones was the recipient (or co-recipient) of some $19 million worth of research grants, a sixfold increase over what he'd been awarded in the 1990s."

Wait a minute here, I thought all these emails were simply taken out of context?

I believe it means he criminally deleted email and data requested under FOI, fraudulently manipulated data to obtain desired results, cynically prevented independent verification of his results, subverted the peer review process and censored through intimidation publication of dissenting research, and lied repeatedly to the public, the press, his peers, his supporters, his patrons, and his employers. Other than that... well, he's perfectly innocent!

He's stepping down until the completion of an independent review. This is not an admission of guilt.

But it sure looks that way, doesn't it? The guy should be put on a suicide watch. Hey Jonesy we want to know who you're working for?And where does Obomba's Science Czar John P. Holdren fit into this?
