It's good to see the BBC holding true to its hard-won reputation for scrupulous journalism with this article about an outbreak of ergot poisoning in France in 1951 that claims that it was really an evil experiment the the evil American evil CIA evilly subjecting a village to evil LSD for evil reasons of great evilness.The fact that the accusation is based on the sort of evidence that wouldn't stand up five minutes in a drunken pub argument is totally irrelevant. Someone should point out that veiled references, an anonymous and ambiguous quote, and blandly stating out that a factory is on the same continent as France is hardly evidence.

Do you suppose the BBC could adopt our fat, sloppy [accusations of several unmentionable habits] Michael Moore? The BBC is so broken anyway that the only way to fix it must start with firing everyone, and it would get Comrade Moore out of our hair.
