Rusi P. Taleyarkhan's complaint against colleagues at Purdue is unfortunate. He alleges malicious public statements by coleagues that led to 'a successful campaign to ruin Taleyarkhan and his sonofusion research.' See AP Release http://www.geocities.com/
Even before Taleharkhan, US science in the field of sonoluminescence (SL) promoted the notion high temperatures from 5,000 to 1 million degrees are produced in collapsiing bubbles. In this regard, I personally disagreed. See my press release: http://www.geocities.com/
In fact, the collapse is isothermal because the water vapor in the bubbles under pressure condenses instead of increasing in temperature. Simply put, the notion of high temperatures in collapsing bubbles is a hoax. Instead, SL light is a quantum effect produced by QED induced EM radiation. See my homepage:

Perhaps Taleyarkhan simply named the wrong defendants. He should have named US science for misleading him into believing the incredible hoax that high temperatures necessary for nuclear fusion are possible in collapsing bubbles.
