Bush puts corporate interests over America's safety: Rep. Bill Delahunt (D-Mass. has questioned whether the Bush administration is putting the interests of U.S. conglomerates ahead of its counter-terrorism agenda. Even the plea agreement reached with Chiquita in March — in which it acknowledged making the illegal payments — has been criticized as far too lenient by many outside legal experts and some high-ranking Justice Department prosecutors. "I think they've escaped any kind of appropriate sanctions," Delahunt said in an interview last week. "We will take a good, hard look at how American multinationals operate around the world, using Colombia as a model," said Delahunt, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights and Oversight. "It really deserves an exhaustive effort to examine where we need legislation and if there are gaps in our criminal code that allow U.S. corporations to aid or abet violence in other countries that erode our credibility and our moral standing in the world." latimes.com
