This page is a bit jumbled currently. I think it needs to be reworked to put events into chronological order.

I read about the CEI lawsuit and the Rowe-Blumenthal FOI request in Joseph Romm's 2007 book Hell and High Water. I see the letter from Lieberman addresses both this lawsuit and the Cooney strategy, but I have to spend more time looking at the cited sources to see if any of them tie Cooney himself to the CEI lawsuit.Birdbrainscan 03:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I've added a bunch more sources, including links to the original email from Ebell and the press releases by Rowe-Blumenthal. Reading these and the Lieberman letter in full it becomes clear that both they and Greenpeace accused the White House and Cooney in particular of having asked CEI to sue the administration under FDQA. Also I found a copy of Piltz letter to re-link as the old link was broken. It addresses an ongoing pattern of suppression of climate science. It would be interesting to cross check some of the other names he singles out in the rest of that quite long and detailed letter.Birdbrainscan 05:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
