FDA chief Lester Crawford has tried just about everything to STOP seniors to save money, but this is going too far:

"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 Crawford says.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Crawford said Wednesday that he had been briefed about al-Qaeda plans uncovered during recent arrests and raids, but declined further comment about any possible threats.

Back in April, they tried some "hardball tactics" by getting credit card companies to block these transactions:

The Food and Drug Administration is using "hardball tactics" in its effort to stop traffic in low-cost prescription drugs from Canada, Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle said yesterday.
State officials and Internet pharmacies north of the border said they fear credit card companies might quit processing the transactions under pressure from the FDA.

So using the FDA to scare people into making more money for the BILLION dollar Pharmaceutical industry. Can Democrats and Conservatives all agree this is wrong and corrupt?
