...million, but outside experts such as Stephen Schondelmeyer, a professor of pharmaceutical economics at the University of Minnesota, predicts it'll end up being "one of those penny wise, pound foolish decisions." That's because generic drug companies, which have far smaller profit margins than the brand-name firms, warn that the increased discount would squeeze them out of the Medicaid market, leaving the brand-name manufacturers-which can more easily absorb a rebate increase-to cash in when the federal program has to buy the higher priced drugs from them...

Ironically, he notes, small-scale attacks by suicide bombers like the ones in Bali may be a side-effect of earlier police successes against extremists. After the first Bali bombings, police across Southeast Asia began a crackdown on Jemaah Islamiah (J.I.), the network of militants blamed for that attack.
