Re: Media dishonesty - science fraud

[Muckerheide <muckerheide@attbi.com>]

I was being facetious of course about all the people that "blame the media"

when this report plainly shows that the fraud is by NRC and Sandia, yet

again.



This analysis could say the risk of melting a pot left on the stove could

kill thousands by assuming the metal is "weaponized" into ideal respirable

particulates that can remain airborne and cover many city blocks (even if

these are not the same size)!



This is inconceivable and purely dishonest, intended to defraud the gullible

public (media, politicians, etc.) to fear-monger and support ever increasing

regulatory powers and costs.



Will we start dealing with the real problem, and telling the truth?



Start with the "Science" paper in the Sep 20 "Policy Forum." If you donšt

have subscription access, you can get to the author's reprint service at:

Thanks Richard.
