Destroying the Evidence In East Anglia

It would appear that the raw data for much of the temperature recordings that the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit massaged and manipulated to make up it's database has been destroyed, not just the electronic records, but the paper copies as well. This was irreplaceable data that cannot be used to validate or invalidate any of the data in the CRU database. These criminals have harmed mankind in immeasurable ways because we now do not have any means to replicate their findings, that makes their findings suspect. Nobody can ever go back and attempt to find new insights into the data because the data is no longer there.
