Bill does not hold back "Senior scientists have ample opportunity to press for re-investigation privately and effectively with a plethora of government officials, without grandstanding in a letter to _Science_. Such unprofessional narcissism on the part of Bloom et al. (5) , that endangers others and foments hostilities among nations, is both irresponsible and deplorable. I hope they enjoyed their day in the sun and one more Science citationon their _curricula vitae_. Alas, fame and press coverage are fleeting, but the damage done is not".

He's spot on though - it is irresponsible and shameful. I hope they read this.
