The part about the Army Corps of Engineers dumping 500 tons of rock over the Kennewick Man site enfuriated me, too. I think, ultimately, though, that your line of thought will prevail. As you say, preconceptions about propriety should have zip to do with science.

Meanwhile, in implicit acknowledgment that the race card had been played successfully, in April, 1998, the Army Corps of Engineers abruptly dumped 500 tons of rock fill over the site where Kennewick Man was discovered, beside the Columbia River. Although archaeologists often restore digging sites to their original condition after extensive studies have been completed, this action, by the corps's own admission, was meant to ensure "the protection of any additional skeletal material or cultural artifacts from further revelation." This is precisely why the planetary overheating debate is tainted. Pols should stay away from scientists.
