According to this slashdot comment, the quote about manipulating data was taken out of context... I'm not going to waste much time investigating this for now, but read it here for what it's worth:

You can actually read the entire email there though... it's not taken out of context... unless you can come up with a good reason why somone would need to "hide" something.

"the 'trick' is just to plot the instrumental records along with reconstruction so that the context of the recent warming is clear."

It doesn't look to me like they were really hiding anything, if this explanation is correct. Maybe "hide" was a poor choice of words?

I'm not really sure, it's a bit confusing. But one thing which I do know is that someone should go through these mails and really read them in context before we all start jumping to conclusions.

If it is true that they were deceiving people by manipulating data, I'm all for throwing them to the wolves.
