Re: [Vo]:Not sure the DIA document will have a big impact

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!
