First from Hersh: a new look at the man who wrote the report on Abu Ghraib, General Taguba. It doesn’t inspire confidence in the government.

The American government doesn’t inspect drugs coming into our country from India and China, making it possible that someone — probably a poor person, since we’re talking prescription drugs — is going to die from a pill that is under/over-strength or tampered with.

What else is new? If expensive pills were being made in the Orient, and the rich were taking them, there wouldn’t be these concerns.

Oh, and hey, environmentally conscious people: in fifteen years, there’ll be a sweet eco-friendly jet out there for airlines and celebrities. Hold on tight until then.
