Margaret Hamburg as FDA Administrator

Another classic new appointment in Margaret Hamburg as FDA Administrator.  Time did an article on the Hamburg appointment yesterday.  The article features three quotes from Hamburg, two of which focussed directly upon terror:  ( http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1884627,00.html - scroll down)
"I think that's an investment worth making. Clearly it's not off the scale compared to other investments we routinely make for national security and defending the health and well-being of our nation."    - (On the spending needed to prepare the country for an attack using weaponized smallpox or other bio-chemical hazards. - CNN, November 10, 2001)
 
"I believe that in this age of terror, the only thing that can stop a small group of committed individuals is a large group of committed individuals. Only all of us acting together, with wise policies and sound judgments, can make our world safer." - (A speech to graduating students at Bowdoin College, May 2003)
Didn't we get enough of this fear-centered bunkum during the previous administration? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsqPeqhKJ7Q)  Are we going to have to re-live this again?  Where's the change? (http://www2.whidbey.net/zipmont/revamp/change.htm).  And in a somewhat humorous twist of fate, many of those who were critical of it during the previous administration have suddenly grown sheepishly silent. 
 
 
ps;
 
Wouldn't it be nice if we could get just one appointment that didn't have close connections to the secret meeting gang? (http://www2.whidbey.net/zipmont/revamp/council.htm)  Hamburg serves on the board of the Rockefeller Foundation and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, whose think tank is  "The David Rockefeller Studies Program".  http://www.nanotechproject.org/about/leadership/board/margaret_hamburg/ .  Isn't it great that we have these "philanthropists" like Rockefeller, Ford, Soros, etc ... who are so dedicated to spreading sugar and spice and everything nice around the world - simply for the benefit of their fellow men, or to evade yet another catastrophic event looming on the horizon? http://www2.whidbey.net/zipmont/revamp/sugarandspice.htm .  Isn't it funny that, despite their ostensible, noble causes, the results tell a very different story - the story of making the world safe for multinationals?
