Part of the "In the Know" series of posts.
The political right of the blogosphere quickly developed an awareness of a story concerning hacked e-mails from a major global warming research center.
The Climatic Research Center at the University of East Anglia (apparently misidentified in quite a few reports as the "Hadley" center) had its computer system hacked. Quite a few e-mails were snatched and posted on the Web. Some of the e-mail messages sound suspicious and appear to suggest that scientists at the center allowed politics to influence their presentation of science.
The Associated Press produced a story that sums up the gist of what happened and then goes on to add details.
The St. Petersburg Times ran the AP story, but edited out all of the specific details. The 16 paragraph story was cut down to the first four, though the Times version looks like five since one paragraph was made into two.
"In the Know," baby.
