While I will be the very first to admit ignorance of how Washington works, I also readily see that in this discussion this knowledge is entirely useless. The issue here concerns whether we have enough evidence to savage the President on Canadian drugs. We do not. We must first savage the FDA as you are doing. If you can prove deficiency in the FDA, then you prove that the President is following the advice of an agency that is unworthy of his consideration, at least with regard to the issue of Canadian drugs. If the President, despite the proof, continues to deny the drugs on faulty information, then and only then will we have sufficient reason to question his integrity. The entire issue before us has to do with whether you can justly impugn Bush's integrity simply because lots of money is involved. You cannot - not as long as the topmost agency in America for food and drug safety claims the system whereby Canadian drugs enters the country is not safe. Your criticisms are misplaced and premature.
