In the UK, Tallbloke, the blogger who broke the Climategate 2.0 emails on his blog Tallbloke’s Talkshop has had 2 laptops and a router seized by six detectives from the Metropolitan Police, the Norfolk Constabulary and the Computer Crime division.

He had an an inkling something was up the previous evening “when WordPress forwarded a notice from the U.S. Department of Justice.”

Watts Up With That has the notice and some excellent commentary. The most telling so far is from commenter Gail Combs:

You forget that one of the e-mails shows that the US Department of Energy “ordered” Jones to evade the FOIA requests.

The head of the Department of Energy at the time had just served as the US Ambassador to the United Nations prior to his appointment as Secretary of the Department of Energy.

This could be a very big CYA for the US government.

And someone has alerted Drudge. Let’s see if he picks it up.
