Rallying Around the Whistle Blower

At least 22 members of Congress have signed a letter demanding the FDA fess up to what's going on with whistle-blower David Graham. Dr. Graham raised concerns about the prescription drug Vioxx. The FDA reportedly tried to silence his concerns, but his word reached Congress. Shortly after that, the maker of Vioxx pulled the drug from the market over a link to heart attacks. The Congressmen are worried over reports that Dr. Graham is being punished for doing the right thing for the American people. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
