So this has nothing to do with climate change being a fraud? It's about an employee lying to their employer about being in the CIA while he "worked" for the EPA?
In that vein, can we trust anything these conservatives say after the Iraq debacle? See how silly that sounds?

If they're talking about climate change, for the most part. If they mention working for the CIA, I'd question it.

I certainly wouldn't trust anyone who works for the CIA.
So what was he really doing in Pakistan? Doesn't strike me as a place most people just want to visit for a prolonged period of time.
Was he even really in Pakistan?

I'm sure Brian Williams knows.
So, one interesting note: I went hunting to make sure this was legit, being that I've never heard of "joemiller.us" before, and lots of "indy" blogs out there are known to, well, make (blank) up. Turns out this all went down in 2013. John Beale is in prison as we speak, scheduled to be released next year. The only reason I can come up with for this Joe Miller blog bringing it up now is to try and discredit climate change experts by making it seem like this is all happening right now. The blog's article includes no mention--none whatsoever--of this being a matter resolved with prison time in 2013.
Accurate? For the most part. Responsible? Not a chance. Slanted and massaged to fit an agenda? Extremely.

Actually, I saw this yesterday and was happy in my mind that TJBender actually did the research on this for himself. I can't say that I disagree with his findings. :thumbsup:

Are you suggesting that I don't do any research?

LOL, not at all. One thing that I try to encourage people to do when debating on a message board type of forum is to do some research rather than just post talking points. Find out what the truth is.
