excerpt from OpEd piece but picked up in other national newspapers  

"So why did the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2002 grant an "emergency" exemption 
allowing increased use of Gaucho -- typically invoked during a major infestation -- when only a few 
beetles were found in blueberries? Why did the agency also grant a "conditional" registration for its 
close relative, Pancho, allowing the chemical on the market with only partial testing? And why is the 
agency, hiding behind a curtain of "trade secrets," still refusing to disclose whether the additional 
tests required of companies in such cases were conducted and, if so, with what results? "
