Texaco needs to go help clean that crap up. It is just like them doing murder to thousands of indegoius people. I am never-ever going to Texaco again.

Texaco isn't liable. They have paid the $40 million they were required to under the 1992 agreement. Texaco left Ecuador in 1992 and the mismanagement seen in the video is the responsiblity of Petroecuador, who has operated the fields for the last 15 yeats.

Wrong. Get your facts straight moron. They paid the 40M after the case of Aguinda, which is a pathetic amount in relation to the mess THEY caused with their systems, operations and spilling. PetroEcuador started operating after the mess was made. I am not saying PetroEcuador is ethcial or has had good practices, but they are not responsible for the contamination caused by Texaco.

where are you posters getting the phrase "eco-friendly sabotours?" seems strange to me that two independent posters can used the same phrase - with a misspelling, at that.

My sources come from Ecuadorian politics and U.S. Supreme court files. So shut the hell up hippie.

the lawsuit is ongoing. that's a fact. therefore, there can be no "Ecuadorian politics and U.S. Supreme court files" that state that the lawsuit was "found inconclusive." resorting to name calling when you can't come up with facts to back your statements is wastes my time.
