Chemicals of mass destruction, 20 years later.....
Advertisements [?]
So the extremely devastating chemical leak that took out around 15,000 people in India, with untold 10's of thousands of others who have unresolved health problems... was just something that Dow Chemical need not recompense these people for.... for 3000 people we carpet bomb the hell out of two sovereign nations that never attacked us... not once..... and spend hundreds of billions doing it... go figure. The hypocrisy is simply mind boggling.

"Imagine if those CEOs had been responsible for the death of 20,000 Americans -- would Ken Lay be allowed to summer in the Hamptons and winter in Florida? Americans call for an end to double standards in pursuing corporate crime," Wilson says.

The International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal, of which Greenpeace is a part, demands that both the Government of India (who has dragged its feet on this case for the last 19 odd years) and Dow Chemical (who has failed to even accept moral liability) take steps to contain the disaster and do justice in Bhopal this year.
