Now that you mention it, a recent Pew Charitable Trust poll found that over 70% of scientists surveyed had either heard of active interference by the Bush administration. To quote (http://people-press.org/report/?pageid=1549)
"An overwhelming majority of scientists say they have heard a lot (55%) or a little (30%) about claims that the Bush administration did not allow government scientists to report findings that contradicted administration policy. By contrast, just 10% of the public heard a lot about the claims and 34% heard a little; most say they have heard nothing at all about it. About three-quarters of scientists (77%) believe the claims about the Bush administration are true, while just 6% say they are false. And virtually all of the scientists who say these claims are true 71% of scientists overall believe that these practices occurred more often during the Bush administration than during previous administrations. " Among government scientists, the figures approach 100%. Shame indeed.
