Quote:The Office of the Special Counsel produced no official findings in that case; it was eventually dropped.Because? Because they had no jurisdiction. If they had jurisdiction, do you think they would have pursued it?
Quote:That quote is from the WSJ opinion section. Also, Klinghoffer is hardly an unbiased observer. He's a fellow at the Discovery Institute, a pro-Intelligent Design PR house. He's not bringing anything but the party line to the table.So ignore the substance, and attack the source. Got it.
Quote:Sternberg got tricky to slip a poor, but pro-ID paper into a reputable publication. He got called on it, and his colleagues were pretty mad. The Discovery Institute is trying to make him into a martyr in a nonexistent cause.Tricky. I see, obtaining two degrees from respected institutions, developing a respected career in evolutionary biology, spending 5 years as editor of a respected biology journal on his own time, just to get tricky and slip in an ID paper. It actually seems suicidal to me. I think he is guilty of being open minded.
