I was listening to this being discussed on WMAL this morning...it seems that this little exemption was either a rider attatched to the original legislation or something that was so far down in the details that no one saw it.
A new Republican Congressman yesterday did try to raise issue with it during the debate on Stem Cell research asking if Samoa would get an exemption from it as well...and was promptly shouted down by a gavel banging Barney Frink....errr...Frank.
Good grief....we really are in for 2 years of getting raped
