EPA Email-gate

For those who are bandwidth-challenged (Verizon, can you hear me now?) and for more detail, here is some additional information and analysis of the White House's pathetically juvenile response to the EPA's recommendation on CO₂ regulation:

• The original report from the NYTi: White House Refused to Open Pollutants E-Mail
  
• NYTi's DotEarth blog: Return to Sender: E.P.A. E-Mail on CO2 Refused by Administration. Old Pattern Back? (Old pattern back? Are you serious? What evidence is there that the stonewalling and rope-a-dope by these goons ever went away?)
  
• WaPo: White House Tried to Silence EPA Proposal on Car Emissions (Even the political appointee who sent the email was apparently so disgusted he resigned from his position.)
  
• AP: Ex-EPA official critical on climate change
  
• CBS News Political Animal blog: Creating Their Own Reality "College freshmen around the world are rejoicing that one of their favorite excuses for avoiding class assignments now has official sanction."
  
• Huffington Post: White House Bounces EPA Reality Check
  
• Washington Independent: Why The White House Silenced EPA On Greenhouse Gases
  
• Nature magazine blog: White House takes the ostrich approach
