First the Climategate emails.
Then the peer-reviewed expert report supporting the six-month drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico.
Now this:
Looks like a pattern, to me.

Release No. 06-0510
VANDENBERG CONDUCTS MINUTEMAN III FLIGHT TEST
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - A scheduled Minuteman III
intercontinental ballistic missile test was launched here at 3:01 a.m. June
16 from Launch Facility-10.
The flight test was the first for the 576th Flight Test Squadron since its
realignment under Air Force Global Strike Command.
The missile's single re-entry test vehicle traveled approximately 4,190
miles before hitting its pre-determined target near the Kwajalein Atoll in
the Marshall Islands.
"Team Vandenberg's coordination was phenomenal resulting in a seamless
launch operation," said Col. Steven Winters, the 30th Space Wing vice
commander and Launch Decision Authority.
MMIII missiles launched from Vandenberg carry sophisticated data collection
equipment, according to Col. Carl DeKemper, the 576th FLTS commander. ICBM
analysts, including the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy,
will use the data collected from this mission for continuing force
development evaluation.
"For more than 50 years, Vandenberg has been at the forefront of testing and
improving ICBMs to ensure the readiness and reliability of our fleet," said
Col. DeKemper. "Our team is dedicated to ensuring a safe, secure and
effective combat-ready ICBM force."

Engineering: Hazardous to Literary Sense?
After a couple of decades of doing software engineering, I realize that all that cool stuff I learned in AP English in the 70's is pretty much gone. You know, understatement, metaphor, synecdoche, and all that good stuff where you say less than you mean, or more than you mean, the opposite of what you mean, etc.
I no longer have any patience with anybody who is not saying exactly what they mean!
