Well - a little late, but I just had to comment. I don't get the negative tone here. Looking at this story I think it is showing politics actually working - somebody actually being forced to do something realistic by political pressure rather than babbling about some ficticious reality. The government "plays with peoples lives" every day in thousands of ways. The FDA is a policy agency so of course politics will be involved and I'm glad.
