I think Mike's secret source of information might be the new Michael
Crichton novel 'State of Fear'

Quote:
The odious villains in Michael Crichton's new thriller, the folks (as
President Bush might put it) who kill, maim and terrorize, aren't
members of al-Qaida or any other jihadi movement. They aren't Bondian
bad guys like Goldfinger, Dr. No or Scaramanga. They aren't drug lords
or gang members or associates of Tony Soprano's.

No, the evil ones in "State of Fear" are tree-hugging
environmentalists, believers in global warming, proponents of the
Kyoto Protocol. Their surveillance operatives drive politically
correct, hybrid Priuses; their hit men use an exotic, poisonous
Australian octopus as their weapon of choice. Their unwitting (and
sometimes, witting) allies are -- natch! -- the liberal media, trial
lawyers, Hollywood celebrities, mainstream environmental groups (such
as the Sierra Club and the Audubon Society) and other blue-state
apparatchiks.
End quote.

Sounds just like Mike to me.   ;)
