WTF?

This is from the Democracy Now! website:

Paper: U.S to Burn 400,000 Rations of Food For Hurricane Survivors
The Mirror newspaper of Britain is reporting that the U.S. government plans to incinerate 400,000 rations of food shipped from Britain to feed starving Hurricane Katrina survivors. According to the paper, the Food and Drug Agency has determined that the NATO ration packs are unfit for human consumption even though they are eaten by British troops in Iraq. Thousands of gallons of pear juice donated by Israeli relief agencies have already been destroyed. Food from Spain and Italy has also been judged unfit for human consumption.

Does this make any sense? Is it just arrogance on the part of the administration? It seems, in times of crisis, when the admin wants to waive environmental regulations for the good of the people, we could waive FDA regulations on food that is seemingly good enough for Europeans to eat. They don't seem to be dying all over the place from their food. Why would we? Arrogance, hubris, hypocrisy, stupidity, thy name is Bush.
