Fw: FDA SPIES ON ITS SCIENTISTS

[Guest guest]

----- FDA SPIES ON ITS SCIENTISTSA clandestine effort by the FDA to spy on its own scientists was foiled when 80,000 pages gathered during the operation were accidentally published on the internet. The FDA recently said it is transparent and respects the rights of a whistle-blower. However, the FDA used software to track every keystroke of 21 people, with particular interest in 5 scientists who the FDA suspected of going public about the safety of devices designed to identify breast or colon cancers. Four of these scientists lost their jobs. The scientists are suing the FDA stating that the FDA's spying operation captured private emails sent on private networks and on private equipment to their attorneys, each other, one member of Congress, and the media. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who is leading the investigation, said that the spying operation was authorized in writing by the FDA's head lawyer.
