    Hi Eva,

    That Observer story was badly flawed. The report was not a report by the
    Pentagon but a report for the Pentagon - a deliberate what if scenario for
    their planners to use in the unlikely event those circumstances came about.

    This link has the background...

    This looks like one where zeal overcame integrity at the Guardian/Observer.

    [Mermaid]Hey limbic, how is the story flawed? Because it reported bad facts or because the report was prepared for the pentagon instead of being prepared by the pentagon? Which begs the question..WHO prepared it FOR the pentagon? Third parties? Greenpeace? Observer? concerned citizens? commissioned by the lady who cleans the McD toilets situated next to the Pentagon?

    What is the difference between a report commissioned by the pentagon for the pentagon and one that is prepared by the pentagon? Does the weather change because of this difference? Will we experience joyous climate for the next few thousand years because of the said difference instead of the predicted catastrope? Will the ocean currents reverse themselves? Will the poles interchange?

    Really....is there a diff between a report commissioned by the pentagon...as a result prepared FOR it and a report that has been prepared BY the pentagon because someone INSIDE the pentagon commissioned for it?

    Is this why the report is 'flawed'?

    Or is it because Observer alleges that the report that took a year to prepare has been suppressed for four months while interviews has been occuring all over the print world a week before the Observer article? Is that why you think it is flawed?

    Did you read the FULL bbc interview and what was subsequently discussed after that juicy Schwartz quote in the url you posted?

    really...really..Iwannaknow...
