I think this is why so many people are angry over the matter. It has scientist, and I have to assume for personal gain, putting so much "spin" on this issue. They seem fine when "spin" is leaked out, but "we can't reveal any facts until our studies are complete" they say. That is what I meant, if they let their credability (the scientist)be destroyed before they release any of the facts, then the results will be suspect as well. Like you said Tom, the herp comminuty would be the first to help out, work with them and provide all the information we could, and then let the "facts" fall where they may, but, in this situation, it appears that the researchers have pledged their loyalty to the 'politicians' rather then science. I'm sure, many of the true researchers involved in this project are as upset over the way this has turned out as we are.
