Milloy (the "Junkman") is is PR stooge who speaks for industry. His tactic is to mix up reasonable critiques of genuine "junk science" with diatribes on favourite industry issues such as global warming and regulation in general.
This is not to say he is necessarily wrong, but that you should treat everything he says with extreme caution.
In the case of DDT, Malloy and friends claim that it has been "demagogued out of use", but there is plenty of evidence to suggest that bans have followed on from real concerns carefully considered.
There would appear to be significant commercial interests in removing bans on DDT. The list of sponsors on a prominent pro-DDT site should cause you to approach the evidence there with some scepticism.
