The Karasik Conspiracy (Dec 02 2005 02:46 GMT) - A marketing plan by PhRMA, the major lobbying group that represents drug manufacturers, to sow fear into Americans' hearts about imported drugs from Canada, has backfired.

As this story relates, the plot of The Karasik Conspiracy "has an instructive new bad guy: A large pharmaceutical company, so far unnamed, has poisoned Canadian-sold drugs—and then tried to make it look like a bunch of terrorists were behind the plot. |
