Minner, who made the directive in a letter, described the move as a way to "clarify" the role of David R. Legates, a prominent skeptic of views that human activities are warming the planet and triggering climate shifts.
Squelch opposing views.
Lenin, Stalin and Malenkov would all be proud of the Governor of Delaware.

Hillary Clinton (pictured) said:When I'm president, I'm going to send a message to the world that America is back - we're not the arrogant power that we've been acting like for the last six years.
She was basking in the applause from a predominantly black audience gathered for her town-hall-style chat in the Liberty City section of Miami.
It is interesting that the most arrogant figure in political life arrogantly vows to end US arrogance in yet another arrogant outburst.
Hillary must confuse arrogance with ability -- the ability to protect the country in which we live.
Every Clinton I know is arrogance personified. Maybe Chelsea has humility. Is running?
It almost sounded like a eulogy. Maybe it was intended to be. Maybe it should have been.
These poll results [at the link below] suggest that, apart from the irresponsibility of their position on the merits, the Democrats' defeatist approach to Iraq may not be a winning political strategy. In fact, the Dems' approach may be a dubious political strategy precisely because of its weakness on the merits.
The entire Power Line article is here. The poll results can be found here (provided by Outside the Beltway).
Jessica Hall, 25, of Jacksonville, N.C., was charged and convicted by a Stafford County jury of maliciously throwing a missile into an occupied vehicle, a felony in Virginia.
The driver of the plaintiff’s car said he was “maneuvering through the stalled traffic.” The accused said he “cut her off” more than once.
The accused then drove on the shoulder of the road and “chucked a big, supersized McDonald's cup at us through the window.”
Inside the victims car there was a sticky, icy mess on the occupants and the inside of the car.
The accused will pay with a felony on her record and two years in jail.

The McMissile thrower is spared jail time -- gets probation. She is still a convicted felon, however.
She has been in jail since Jan. 4. Presumably, she has now been released. She must remain on good behavior for five years and also must pay fines and court costs.

A bill that would grant permanent residents and other legal immigrants the right to vote in municipal elections has been stalled in the City Council since last year.
"More than 50,000 adult non-citizen taxpayers in those two districts are disenfranchised by citizenship voting laws," said Cheryl Wertz, of New Immigrant Community Empowerment, referring to today's special election for council seats in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
How can a non-citizen, who has never been given the right to vote, be disenfranchised?
How many countries in the free world would you be allowed to vote if you were not a citizen.
Allowing legal non-citizens to vote would be the first step to allowing illegal non-citizens to vote which is close to happening now in Southern California.

He said: "I don't have plans to be a candidate again and though I haven't... completely ruled out any possibility of running at some point in the future I don't expect to and cannot perceive circumstances in which I would."
An article in the Examiner gushes with praise for Bill Clinton saying he should be appointed to fill the vacated Senate seat if Hillary is elected president in 2008.
"Scientific consensus!" chants the mainstream media in America when it comes to global warming. Not so long ago, that would have been the end of the story for nearly everyone.
One of the pleasures of the Internet is coming across first-class publications - newspapers, magazines, and the like - that might never have been available to ordinary people in the pre-wired world. Newspapers like The Scotsman and the Sydney Morning Herald, far superior to their equivalents here in the U.S., open windows to other points of view and often contain information impossible to find in the domestic media.
More of this story here.
In talking to the Des Moines Register newspaper later, he did some Kerry backpedaling by explaining … “what I meant to say was”…Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry’s decision to not enter the 2008 race was blamed in part on a bipartisan backlash from his remark that people who did poorly in school would end up “stuck in Iraq.” He later claimed his remark was misinterpreted and said he was sorry if anyone was offended.
What sunk the Kerry bid to run again for the presidency may not derail Barack Hussein Obama. Why? Obama is still the darling of the media and can do no wrong right now.
Kerry, on the other hand, broke their hearts in 2004 when he blew leads in the polls and managed to pull defeat from the jaws of victory in the last presidential election. The liberal media seemed to be looking for just such a gaff to keep on the front page long enough to bury Kerry’s plans to run again.
In the meanwhile, the misspeaking Obama can do no wrong even though critics say the speech was scripted and the
comment was intentional.
