Anyone confused about the investigation's true aim should read the CNN.com article discussing the vulnerability of international drug supplies. I don't know it the attached link works but some quotes:

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- A senior Food and Drug Administration regulator warned that another public health crisis may be inevitable because the agency can't guarantee the safety of many drugs and food products manufactured overseas.
"The safety of America's food and medical products is under serious challenge," John Taylor, FDA's acting principal deputy commissioner, said Monday.

Contaminants in blood thinner Heparin produced in China have been linked to more than 100 deaths in the United States in 2008.
The FDA is responsible for overseeing the safety and manufacturing quality of food, drugs, medical devices, vaccines, cosmetics and tobacco products.

Speaking at the Pew Health Group conference in Washington D.C., Taylor said the FDA can't keep up with how quickly manufacturing has shifted overseas.
Decades ago, Taylor said the agency had a better grip on ensuring the safety of those products because most of them were made in the United States.
But today, he said, the agency is crippled in its mission to protect the health of Americans since a lot of medicine sold in the U.S. is made abroad and outside of strict FDA oversight.
This dim-sh*t congressman won't make much of dent in the powers forcing this case. Picture Lance as poster-boy for a compromised pescription drug supply and his handlers as black-marketeers.
