Nobel Peace laureate Norman E. Borlaug on the hysteria against genetically modified crops (via Instapundit).

Update

Clyde Prestowitz, claiming he's a "trade hawk", argues taking action against the European Union because of its ban on imports of genetically modified foods would be counterproductive. The argument sounds good, but it looks like his thing is making nice-nice. It may work, and it may not. And despite his claims, isn't he a protectionist? Not to mention his loony ideas about the "Japan, Inc." economic model. But just because he was wrong once doesn't mean he's always wrong.
