Are those debunkers' papers really peer-reviewed?

Yeah, apparently they are still being reviewed...  I wonder what the hold up is?  And you know what?  I really hope that the Asif Usmani who contributed to the cover-up papers listed below isn't related to the Adaner Usmani who was one of the student organizers of today's controlled left Palestinian rights vigil.  It's very odd in any case that the student leaders of the controlled left at Harvard all happen to be Indian...

looks like the paper was rejected...

In any case it has vanished from Usmani's institution's site... unless I'm missing something, can someone alert the debunkers? They'll be sure to want to remove their links to it... Thanks!
