Brits Investigate Climategate Whistleblower

Writer and journalist James Delingpole relates this disturbing aspect of the Climategate investigation. Instead of an official review of the scandalous global warming fraud, the British government has retained a private police firm to investigate the data breach at East Anglia University.

Officers of the National Domestic Extremism Team are scrutinizing the leaking or hacking of the incriminating emails. They are going after the whistleblower(s).

The National Extremism Tactical Co-ordination Unit (NETCU) is a British police organization funded by, and reporting to, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) that coordinates police action against groups in the United Kingdom it describes as extremist. [...]

Because the ACPO is not a public body but rather a private limited company, NETCU is exempt from freedom of information laws and other kinds of public accountability, even though they are funded by the Home Office and deploy police officers from regional forces.

So, rather than investigating the arguably worldwide fraud being perpetrated on the public by a politically-infected scientific community, the British government is pursuing the leakers/hackers of the incriminating data. And the government is doing it with a private police force, unaccountable to the public.

Can you say co-conspirator?
