Greetings!

I notice you are one of the organizations mentioned on:

http://www.gnxp.com/blog/2007/10/james-watson-tells-inconvenient-truth_296.php

...as describing Dr. Watson as using "his unique stature
to promote personal prejudices that are racist, vicious
and unsupported by science."

This might have got The Federation of American Scientists
some cheap publicity, but - your article has no references.

Do you have any *evidence* that James Watson has "personal
prejudices" that are "racist", "vicious" and "unsupported
by science"?

If not - and it would be *astonishing* if you do - then
your comments seem like an unjustified attack on the
character on an esteemed scientist :-(

I expect this is a misunderstanding on the part of your
organization - though it is obviously a lamentable one.

I encourage you to review the relevant evidence, and then
hopefully retract your comments - and publicly apologize
to Dr. Watson for the unjustified smear on his good name.

I look forwards to seeing your response - hopefully on
your web site.

Best wishes,
