Isn't it ironic that here we have a case of scientists being imprisoned over supposedly not divulging information, yet in the case for global warming climate scientists have been anything but ambiguous over the data. Yet these poor individuals are accused of everything from scaremongering, to falsifying the data, to plotting sending the human race back to the stone age.

The middle-ages attitude towards scientists is very much alive and kicking.
