Wikipedia – 2nd post on “Climatic Research Unit e-mail hacking incident”
Overnight, the Freedom of Information section was flushed down the memory hole (at least) two more times.
One of the new tricks that the censors are using is to remove the links to the leaked files (because they’re – you know – maybe – copyrighted), and then remove paragraphs talking about the FOI and the conflict of interest with Real Climate, because it’s – wait for it – unsourced.
Man, these leftists are shameless.

The spin is to push the crime concept so the issue won’t have to be dealt with. The copyright issue is a red herring since the WSJ provides access to the zip file.

Today, on behalf of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, I filed three Notices of Intent to File Suit against NASA and its Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), for those bodies’ refusal – for nearly three years – to provide documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act.
Wiki is only going to be able to dodge the fallout for so long.

Wikipedia is pretty good about older topics. Give it a year, and there will likely be a good article about all of this. But if it’s a current event with a political aspect then Wikipedia is damn near worthless.
