Surely you realize the DIA report is NOT about to be ignored.
It is not being ignored but it may not have a big impact. So far,
136 people have downloaded it from LENR-CANR.org.
I realize that it may be having an impact inside the government. I
wouldn't know anything about that. All I can measure is whether it is
causing excitement on the Internet and among LENR-CANR readers. My
other comments apply to government decision makers as much as to the
public. With regard to a scientific claim, it would be odd if
decision makers are more influenced by an intelligence analysis than
by scientific papers.
Odd but not unbelievable.
I said, "I am not knocking Ms. Barnhart but after all Storms et al.
know a heck of a lot more about this subject than she does . . ."
Then again she did get advice from some heavyweight experts and
people from many agencies:
"Coordinated with DIA/DRI, CPT, DWO, DOE/IN, US Navy SPAWAR/Pacific
and U.S. NSWC/Dahlgren, VA."
She is a smart cookie. This report does speak for experts in many
agencies. Plus, you can see it was not thrown together overnight. As
I said, we have melancholy proof that it was written before November
1, when poor Andrei died.
So maybe it will have impact. It sure can't hurt!
