Friday, August 13, 2004Tampering with prescription drugs could be a way for terrorists to launch an attack on Americans, acting Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Lester M. Crawford said Wednesday. Crawford said in an interview with The Associated Press that possible action by terrorists was the most serious of his concerns about the increasing efforts of states and cities to import drugs from Canada to save money. The Department of Homeland Security doesn't know what he's talking about. Mr. Crawford is talking out of his hat. If they could adulterate Canadian drugs, they could adulterate U.S. drugs, too. It's not as if the FDA inspects every batch of pills that rolls off the assembly line (or whatever pills roll off.) Sounds like nothing more than scare tactics. And that's too bad, because it discredits further arguments against reimportation. posted by Sydney on 8/13/2004 12:38:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
