I'm not necessarily attempting to justify any data-cooking whatsoever, but why is it such a big deal? I mean, the climate "skeptics" do it all the time and it hardly makes the news. We're never going to have a decent public discourse on this issue until both sides are honest with the public. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I don't see this happening any time soon.

Science that relies on cooked data isn't science. It's snake oil sales.

"I'm not necessarily attempting to justify any data-cooking whatsoever, but why is it such a big deal? I mean, the climate "skeptics" do it all the time and it hardly makes the news." Are you serious? Laws are going to be passed (cap and trade) in the US that heavily regulate businesses based on data from these organizations. If congress doesn't take a step back and look into this, they are even more corrupt than I thought. Al Gore got a noble peace prize based on this and he has made millions through his carbon credit programs (and speeches, etc). The truth needs to be known. If global warming is not a result of man-made pollution (or if temperatures are not actually increasing or decreasing at a dangerous level), we need to know.
