I read the OP too fast and got so outraged about the censorship issue that I got carried away and typed up that reply in too big of a hurry. (What can I say, the idea of censorship of any kind makes my blood boil!)

I wonder how this is going to play out, whether any of the scientists will be willing (and able) to defy this edict and submit their work to the journals anyway. I guess we'll see.
