Will Monsanto beat the rap for the "wild" GM wheat found in Oregon?

Asked by rojo (24179points) June 6th, 2013

Recently GM modified wheat was found growing in Oregon Article and a lawsuit has been filed about contamination by GM wheat.

Monsanto is claiming that this could not have happened accidently through pollen or stray seeds and that the planting was accidental (where did the seeds come from) or purposeful. It appears that they are saying someone did this to spite them. Do you buy their argument?

Do you find it odd that this occurred immediately after Congress approved the Monsanto Protection Act (or what Steven Colbert Video referes to as the Monsanto Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Card act).

What would be the reason that someone would do this to Monsanto now when they have this protection?

How could Monsanto benefit from doing something like this themselves?

Could this force the EU and Japan to accept GM foods?

Will they win in court?

What are the odds they file suit for unlawful use of their product?
