Alerted by an eagle-eyed commenter, below, I'll point everyone to this CNN Bextra® story -- and though I saw little "new" in it -- here's a taste:
. . . .Imagine being charged with a crime, but an imaginary friend takes the rap for you.
That is essentially what happened when Pfizer, the world's largest pharmaceutical company, was caught illegally marketing Bextra, a painkiller that was taken off the market in 2005 because of safety concerns.
When the criminal case was announced last fall, federal officials touted their prosecution as a model for tough, effective enforcement. "It sends a clear message" to the pharmaceutical industry, said Kevin Perkins, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division.
But beyond the fanfare, a CNN Special Investigation found another story, one that officials downplayed when they declared victory. It's a story about the power major pharmaceutical companies have even when they break the laws intended to protect patients. . . .
It all looks a fair amount like the WaPo Bextra story I covered mid-March 2010, but do watch CNN, Saturday at 3 pm EDT, for the televised version of this story. Have a peaceful and joyous weekend, whether you are celebrating a holiday, or refraining from doing so. . . .

THE FAST FREDDIE HASSAN GUIDE TO ANSWERING EMBARASSING QUESTIONS
When something in my history is found
Which contradicts the views that I propound
Or shows that I perhaps am not the guy I claim to be
Here's what I usually do
Chorus:
I lie
I simply boldly falsify
I look the other feller in the eye
And just deny, deny, deny
I lie
I don t apologize. Not me. Instead
I say I never said the things I said
Nor did the things some people saw me do
When confronted by some things they know are true
Chorus
I hate those weasel words some slickies use
To blur their past or muddy up their views
Not me. I'm blunt. One thing that makes me great
Is that I'll never dodge nor obfuscate
Chorus
With apologies Calvin Trillin and Pete Seeger

Like you, when I saw this story on CNN, my first thought was, "That's old news. For those of us on the pharma blog circuit, that's so last month." ;-)
By the way, I've been meaning to ask forever, what software package do you use for your artwork (please say GIMP and not Photoshop). I love it!
Sadly, Eric --
I use only an outdated (2002 XP-tolerant version) of Photoshop 7.0. . . But I use it with embellished attitude!
Have a peaceful holiday -- namaste
