Bush USDA to Destroy Organic Standards
http://www.maine-biz.com/leadcont.html

>From a small house in western Maine heated by a wood stove and lit by oil
lamps, Arthur Harvey is single-handedly taking on the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. 
In a 20-page lawsuit he wrote himself, Harvey charges that USDA and
Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman have filled the agency's new
guidelines for labeling of organic products with so many loopholes as to
make them virtually meaningless. The purpose, of course, knowing this
administration, is to so cheapen organic standards so that giant
agribusinesses can label nearly everything as "organic."
