    Computers seized

    More climate stuff I'm afraid.

    One of the first bloggers to break the story of the 'climategate 2.0' emails , has had a visit from the police. They have taken a couple of computers but not arrested him.

    not a suspect

    Its a bit of a suprise to me that they can turn up and take your gear away for cloning, even though you are not suspected of anything

        Weird. Are they allowed to do that, or was he dumb enough to let them? If they use material on those PCs to charge him later, won't his lawyer have a field-day?

          A good reason to set up in Russia where the US has no extradition rights, rather than in a US puppet state.

                    They were subject to a FOIA request that was being stalled.

                    It's a minefield
