Watch out! Imported Drugs!

The same day Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry argued for the need to import prescription drugs, the acting FDA commissioner (appointed by the Bush administration, who is against importation) vaguely warned that imported prescription drugs are a terror threat:

“Cues from chatter” gathered around the world are raising concerns that terrorists might try to attack the domestic food and drug supply, particularly illegally imported prescription drugs, acting Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Lester M. Crawford says.

Remember: the administration never uses the fear of terror for political ends.
