Pacific Rim Gold Mining in El Salvador: From Here to There

The Canadian mining company Pacific Rim is currently suing the government of El Salvador under the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) to recoup $77 million in lost profit after the county denied it a mining exploitation permit. Over the past few years anti-mining activists, journalists and religious leaders in El Salvador have been threatened for speaking out about the environmental impacts of mining. In 2009, three activists were murdered.

What a bunch of BS. Have you read any of the environmental proposals or studies related to this issue? Do you have any reasons to believe that this mining company has ever been involved in irresponsible mining operations, other than pictures of OTHER mines not involved with this company? Just more propaganda, with out any examination on what really happened or what is really going on. I didn't see one fact to support the accusations you're making.
