Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s latest court filing in his effort to compel the University of Virginia to turn over docu ments related to the research activities of a climate change expert is “riddled with inac curacies,“ a nonprofit science advocacy group said Thursday.

An analysis of Cuccinelli’s filing con ducted by the Washington-based Union of Concerned Scientists discovered at least three significant errors that the group says undercut the attorney general’s justification for investigating former UVa climatology researcher Michael Mann.

Cuccinelli’s court filing, which was written by Deputy Attorney General Wesley G. Russell Jr., cites the so called “climategate” scandal, in which e mails between climate change researchers ­ including Mann ­ were leaked from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in Great Britain and posted online. Some skeptics believe the climate gate e-mails show researchers were manipulating climate change data, whereas others point out that several investigations in the United States and England have found no evidence of data manipulation.

I almost can't wait to watch Ken Cuccinelli's fishing expedition go down in flames in August.

1. Gee maybe Cuccinelli can tell us all how

2. “riddled with inaccuracies,“

Is a good description of ANY GOP policy.

But this Cuccinelli is a particularly nasty customer. The anti-academic tone of his rantings is chilling.

Let's hope that the judge in this case believes in the advance of the human species.
