The most damning evidence IMO is the promise, straight from the mouth of NIAAA director George Koob, to suppress future research that might be critical of the alcohol industry. Utterly disgraceful.
Koob's defense of that email -- that he was merely referring to research that is "not of the highest scientific quality" -- is pretty pathetic, given that Jernigan's and Siegel's work apparently met the NIAAA's past and present quality standards.
