Yes, Japan nuclear alert and earthquake - Saturday 12 March

The safety agency also warned that the number of individuals exposed to radiation from the plant could reach as high as 160.

To be fair, it is hard to see how GMOs could be harmful if the proper pre-approval studies (rate of spread, rate of interbreeding with local flora, etc.) are done to ascertain that it is not behaving as an invasive species.

The problem here is that I don't trust the regulatory authorities to do their jobs, not that I don't trust the technology. The fact that GMOs have been pushed in the WTO as if it were a trade issue rather than a regulatory compliance issue does not endear me to the idea either.
