in the fields of Vietnam for dozens of years. The only difference is
that now they now have added insect resistance and herbicide genes, so
we can be completely assured that it it fine to use them," said Dr. Le

has killed or maimed over 3 million Vietnamese victims. Manufactured by

Give me a break, we are not all as gullible as the professor thinks we
are. Monsanto said the same thing about Agent Orange - and look at how
that lie continues to devastate the victims of Agent Orange, especially
here in Vietnam. <br style="" class="yiv1813512646"></div><div style="" class="yiv1813512646" id="yiv1813512646yui_3_16_0_1_1417942527202_5715" dir="ltr"><br style="" class="yiv1813512646"></div><div style="" class="yiv1813512646" id="yiv1813512646yui_3_16_0_1_1417942527202_5716" dir="ltr"><div id="yiv1813512646yui_3_16_0_1_1417943377981_93017">Monsanto
