Peanuts

Remember that peanut butter plant in Georgia, the one that was shipping tainted peanut butter all over the country, even though its own tests showed the presence of salmonella.

It was much worse than we imagined.

So where was the FDA?

oh. right. government is the problem not the solution.

FDA officials said that by invoking anti-terrorism laws, they obtained internal company records that Georgia inspectors could not.

Here are some interesting questions:

(1) Which laws?

(2) Why did they have to invoke "anti-terrorism" laws?

(3) Will they send the plant managers, and/or company CEOs, to Gitmo?

(4) Is waterboarding allowed in this circumstance?

(5) What about rendition? (Since Obama's keeping that one.)

Yes, that terrorism law was interesting. Especially since the whole idea that such laws would ONLY be used to fight the war on terror.

Don't know about no. 2, but I suspect that our friends in Washington more or less eviscerated any laws effecting businesses.

As for 3) it would be a good start.

4) Or at least having melted salmonella infected peanut butter poured down their throat

5) Rendition, yes. To China I hope. They have a tendency to execute businessmen who embarrass the government by killing people.

And... just so you don't think this might not effect everyone, today's news is that the company was shipping this stuff to schools.
