I think this fits under "Nutball"
McIntyre and Watts are condemning the actions of the Virginia AG and claiming Mann's actions were "not" illegal. Or as McIntyre said Mann was guilty of doing phrenology readings and claiming science. Insert a link to phrenology:
http://www.phrenology.org/intro.html
He claims those responsible were the funding agencies and institutions where Mann worked. (at least that is my interpretation)
While I agree the fault was the funding and University oversight. However by condemning the AG they are condoning Mann's activities
I take the position the AG is correct to conduct an investigation to determine if and who may have defrauded the state. It is important to understand (Which McIntyre did not) That the AG is limited to investigations involving state monies only. The investigation should have been the responsibility of the US Department of Justice because the fraud (If it does exist) is on a national scale rather than merely state.
The institutions took the aggressive defensive position of attacking those who questioned their actions.
