How The FDA is Becoming a Drug Company

Under the false pretense of improved food and drug safety the FDA is

re-inventing itself as a kingpin drug company. This charade has so far

week, with a vote in the full House likely in July. The measure will then go

to a conference committee to work out the differences. The final chapter in

this transformation occurs when the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA becomes

law, which is scheduled to happen some time before September 30, 2007.......

Robert Gates and the commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, General Dan

McNeil, issued unusually strong denials.

46 pages of documents turned over by the Justice Department to Congress as

part of the investigation into the firings of at least nine US attorneys

provide further evidence that White House officials were deeply involved in the

mass firings of well-performing prosecutors.

 

 

Gonzales shaped the law for partisan purposes. He fired prosecutors for

refusing to cave to political pressure. He tried to subvert the law by forcing

an illegal wiretap program on the American people. _Gonzales must go_
