I'm not sure I believe that there's a cover-up ... but when the government comes out against tougher regulations (being pro-business GOPers) -- to extent that they forbid meat being tested privately to ensure its safety -- I get very nervous.
One of these days, all hell is going to break loose on this. Or maybe it already has, and we just don't realize it yet, due to what samcol was talking about.
If the beef industry thinks mad cow testing is too expensive, wait until they see the jury awards from the product liability lawsuits. (Of course, the GOP is working on that angle too.)
