In an attempt to piss off the local conservative staff, one of my coworkers posted a link to the below article discussing a link between Donald Rumsfeld and the apparently broken review process involved in certifying Aspartame with the FDA.

My only thought on the matter was "Heh, a new meaning for the phrase 'diet evil'."

Guess I'm just jaded. Gee, a politician involved in some kind of shady dealings? Never!

Both articles, if accurate, seem to contradict your article and vindicate Rumsfeld's actions. The latter is a 2002 survey by the European Union's Scientific Committee on Food which cites a number of controlled studies which contradict the claims made of Aspartame's dangers.
