Has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion at hand, but thanks for the tanget. Now, to the applicable part of your post...

Scientists should NOT have their evidence altered edited and Deleted by people who are not qualified to do so. Its dangerous as hell and we shouldnt accept it.
This happens everyday on every study. Company/university/government group A commissions scientists from group B to do a study. Group B goes off and does its study - then it releases the results of the study back to group A (the people that paid for it). Group A then reads the findings, makes some adjustments and sends it out on the behalf of the company/university/government group.

But, in this case, the most aggregious thing the White House did was remove references to a prior study because those references were not a direct result of this study. WOW- Holy smokes - they completely tainted the study!!!

(meanwhile, all the data and hard evidence from the study the White House commissioned remains.)
