And get's it wrong
What's amazing is they rank Newt first at the same time acknowledging he destroyed the Office of Technology Assessment.

"The OTA was used by the Organized Crime Tobacco Mafia to further it own 50 year RICO conspiracy to dent the science of killer-tobacco. The archives of trial documents have been online for more than 10 years by court order as part of the case settlement against the Tobacco Racketeers.

Michael Gough particularly stands out, writing public letters denouncing cigarette smoking while taking money from the Tobacco Criminals to deny existing science on tobacco deaths. Michael Gough co-authored "Silencing Science" with "white coat" junkman Steve Milloy, while collecting laundered tobacco money as Koch-operated Cato Institute paychecks. Gough was partnered with the TASSC criminal organization, moving on to denying climate science after the tobacco paychecks lessened.

Apparently, getting rid of the politically-influenced OTA does count as pro-science, and some people understand that. Just because some group claims to be science, or has the word science in it, does not mean it is not a criminal fraud organization.

I would like you to bear in mind that there are literally 40 millions of tobacco documents filling more than one warehouse which have not yet all been scanned into computer-searchable form. These documents should be considered only partial records, not complete.

The OTA was corrupted and anti-science at it's demise. Newt however should not get credit for destroying it, as there are always many political factions disrupting the efforts of their opponents teams for arcane power struggle reasons that do not have the public good involved at all.
