Lawyers For Mining Companies Threaten Scientific Journals

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-can't-handle-the-truth dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ScienceInsider got hold of a threatening letter that lawyers for the mining industry sent to various scientific journals (PDF) concerning data from the U.S. 'Diesel Exhaust in Miners Study.' Many occupational health researchers believe the study will show a link between diesel exhaust and cancer. A handful of scientists have commented on the letter and its implications."

    Interesting the link to the to "a threatening letter that lawyers for the mining industry sent to various scientific journals " is not working. Maybe the letters have had effect?

    v_v with that and the obvious spelling error confusing "it's" with "its"... isn't there someone who's supposed to be checking this stuff? I think they're called... editors?

    Nah, this is slashdot! I must be new here. :(
