I'm from USA, but I agree with you! No mas imperialismo y muerte a Bush!Viva Presidente Chavez!

I would like to translate the entire interview, so everybody can understand and feel proud of our president. Many multinational corporations not only from the United States, but also from many other powerful countries have made bad things in the poor countries. for example, Mc Donalds exploits its workers in Ecuador because they pay very low salaries (200/month), the oil companies are destroying the Amazon jungle, among other things.

Chevron must pay for the damage that they have caused in my country, a lot of people are getting sick because this fucking company polluted a big part of the ecuadorian rain forest, and now they are blaming someone else.

Yep. Nothing says hard earned money like

sitting on your fat, rich, ass all day long while

your under-paid workers do all of the actual

work, while you pollute other people's lands!

I don't understand why the journalist keep mentioning Chavez. If Chevron had cleaned up its mess from the beginning, everything would be fine now.

What would you think would happened, if Ecuador oil company's polluted in Yosemite park and their natives contracted cancer do to massive oil spills?

[desormais]

Oh poor little rich gringos. Hope those stupid indians never take their hard earned money.

I hope Chevron-Texaco loses and pays, greedy bastards...

That law suit on Texaco was opened around 1998, it was heard by a US district court that said it had no jurisdiction over the case and ruled that the ecuadorian court was the only one with jurisdiction and Texaco would have to battle it out there. Since then, Texaco has made every effort to avoid going to court because they know their lobbists can't bail them(buy them) out there as they usually do in the US. Now they want Mr Big Oil Bush to come to the rescue...

En inglaterra organizaciones de derechos humanos estan demandando a la BBC por transmitir este documental que atenta contra la verdad, los indigenas ecuatorianos jamás pusieron precio alguno a su denuncia y los daños estuvieron alli mucho antes de petroecuador. Ademas que tendenciosamente se habla de millones recibidos por Correa. Greg Palast es un gran investigador pero lastimosamente se ha vuelto sensacionalista y ha perdido su misión informativa para convertirse en corporativista...

I can't say she's sexy, but I know she's definitely a murderess
