Peter Gleick and the Heartland documents

Just last week I reading about the stolen Heartland documents. I think Heartland is a think-tank type of place and they, like myself, are skeptical of Global Warming. A number of their private documents were stolen and put on the internet, including a note that made Heartland look evil.

Megan McArdle took a look at these documents and said while most of the documents looked genuine, the note was faked. (Here and here.)

It's looking more and more like the note was a fake. Today I read the person who stole the documents has confessed. He still claims the documents are real however.

Concern about the Ex-Im Bank

I'm not sure if there's anything to this or not..
