Today in conspiracy theory

Remember, it's only a theory like evolution is only a theory.
From today's What's New newsletter, stolen verbatim because I'm not going to say it any better than Mr. Park:
3. SHAMIFLU: THE BUSH WHITE HOUSE AND THE WAR AGAINST BIRD FLU.
President Bush went to Congress early this month to ask for $7B to prepare the nation for a possible outbreak of Asian bird flu. The federal government has since become the world's biggest customer for Tamiflu, produced by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant, Roche. That was good news for Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, who doesn't have bird flu. He doesn't have stock in Roche either, but he does have millions of dollars worth of stock in a company named Gilead Sciences, having been Gilead's Chairman prior to joining the Bush administration. Low-profile Gilead Sciences owns the rights to Tamiflu, which it outsources to Roche. There is little evidence that the antiviral drug would help much in a flu pandemic.

I know this is old, but it's new(s) to me. None of the 20 or so other people I sent this to had heard of this either.
I'm personally not a big fan of either party, but this Administration is outrageous! Look at all that's going on, and what did Clinton get impeached for again...?
