CSICOP are themselves about as credible as the above mentioned accused. They
are more interested in maintaining their DOGMA (early 20th century scientific
understanding) than in finding the truth. They have repeatedly refused to
publish ANY papers that might suggest there are "psi" phenomona at work. For a
scathing critique of CSICOP I suggest you read Robert Anton Wilson's "New
Inquistion".
As far as Puthoff is concerned, he has published several papers regarding ZPF
and the Casimir effect in "Physics A" - a conservative journal if there ever
was one.
Regarding Flieshman and Pons, their only mistake was bad Public Relations. The
verdict is not out yet on cold fusion - there are still too many experiments
acheiving anomolous results and excess energy. Every so called critic of cold
fusion I've heard so far has yet to present solid unrefutable evidence to the
contrary.
