Doug, Cause du jour? lol You are like a babbling brook. You move from one cause to another, twisting information to suit your argument, then moving on...

Your last cause was that the Iraqis were not going to get any money from the 112 billion barrels of oil that they own. Your argument priced oil at about 1/2 of the going rate. That one should be posted on theonion.com. We had a good laugh about that one.

Now regarding the article that you just posted. Did you read it?

"I also learned at that meeting that the leader of the Movement for Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP), the writer Ken Saro-Wiwa, had been arrested by the Nigerian government en route to the conference. It was immediately clear to us at The Body Shop that we had to do whatever we could to help the Ogoni in their struggle against this giant corporation and its brutal protectors, beginning with a letter-writing campaign to demand Ken's release. Ken was released from prison that August, but was rearrested the following year on trumped-up charges, along with eight other Ogoni environmental activists. In October 1995, to our horror, they were sentenced to death. "

It looks to me like the government of Nigeria is the real criminal there.

"Any company that profits from crimes against humanity should be brought to justice."

Shell was paid for their business, so Shell is guilty? You are saying that Shell knew that the people would be executed?

Shell asked the government to assist in control of the citizens so Shell is responsible for their deaths?

LOL

What is next spotted owls, Duggy?
