Since when have politicians ever had to approve any recombinant DNA project?

A research project is different from making a decision to implement such a policy.

It is? My, my ~ and which politicians approved the anthrax attack?

I think you imagine that the world is full of levels of control and interlocking directorates such that no bad deed occurs except that it is officially approved.

Sorry, I've done stuff without permission myself ~ and gotten away with it too. Many other Freepers recall such events in their lives as well.

Why do you not recall such things?
