One would think that the most accurate judges of the importance of the content of the leaked e-mails would be the rest of the vast scientific community within this field, whom it would affect (they are certainly talking about it.)

Rather than taking the opinion of some elderly US Senators and a talk-show host or two.

Unfortunately most of the other scientists were using the tweaked data. Data that showed no warming. Now the raw data is gone. How convenient. Unfortunately for the boys at CRU it is illegal to delete information that has been requested under the Freedom of Information Act. The UN has been inconveniently using the fudged data also. Obama's Directer of Science and Technology John Holdren's name has surfaced in the hacked e-mails. Yes thats the same John Holdren who warned against the coming Ice Age in the 70's. He was also so concerned about overpopulation that he suggested putting chemicals in water supplies to sterilize people.
