"He is reviled for shaping and implementing the government's favorable agricultural biotechnology policies during the Clinton administration."

Reviled by whom? There is a small segment of the US that is unglued about GMOs, but it's a damned small group.

I dislike the revolving door between industry and government because it stinks of corruption, but I'd feel the same way if the revolving door was between any group and government. My concern is far less about Monsanto than the trend in general.
