I didn't know you could ad hominem (God I hate that pompous phrase for name calling) a organization, I thought it only worked for people. Let me ask you this, if the study was conducted by a Russian electrical corporation that still operated nuclear power plants would you also say it was "ad hominem" if I didn't expect the report to be unbiased? I see no reason to believe the Green Party's report on the subject to be closer to the truth than the Russian utility. It's just a fact of life that it's in the interests of utility corporations to downplay the harm caused by nuclear accidents and in the interests of the Green Party and other environmental organizations to exaggerate them. > and the German people who vote for them. > People who vote for the German Green Party are dimwits, and it ain't ad hominem if it's true.
