170,000 tons of genetically modified corn accidentally shipped to UK; US says "We knew months ago and didn't tell you until it came out in print"

Could purposeful contamination - ultimately benefitting US business - be the real story? Naah. Why would anyone even say such a thing? Oh yeah it's because of the abuse of patent law that allows Big Biotech to go around demanding money from farmers whose crops have been contaminated by Big Biotech. As the patented genes spread via contamination, so do the profits.
