Very exciting to read about a new drug, called BILN 2061, for the more than 170 million Hepatitis C victims. With so many affected, I don't feel enough has been done to help. I recall how AIDS stalled for some time until Elizabeth Taylor stepped up and offered her support and we all discovered Rock Hudson was ill. They also helped take the stigma from AIDS, and that's what needs to happen with HepC. Many people have it but are ashamed to admit it. (My husband and sister both have Hep C, and also two of my best friends.)

Double Standards for White House and American Citizens? The White House withholds highly classified intelligence documents that warned of a terrorist attact using airplanes one month before the 9/11 tragedy, yet they want us to be dilligent in rolling over our library files, doctor's records and credit card info, etc. You can't have it both ways.
