I've read the report...as much as I could stomach.  Here's MY findings:  
hat Earl did was a good and wonderful thing and will be remembered 
hrough the ages. What McNeely did was mean-spirited and will soon be 
orgotten.  
The really sad thing is the enormous amount of time he spent on research 
hat was of no benefit to society and could have been spent, instead, on 
omething useful--like trail maintenance or any other volunteer work.
