democracynow.org - Emails leaked by WikiLeaks from the private intelligence firm Stratfor reveal the chemical industrial giant Dow Chemical closely followed the work of activists around the 25th anniversary of the Bhopal chemical disaster, the 1984 gas leak that killed anywhere between 3,500 and 25,000 people. Of particular interest to Dow was the group, The Yes Men -- the anti-corporate pranksters who pulled off a famous 2004 hoax that led the world to believe Dow had finally taken responsibility for the Bhopal tragedy. "With us, they were carefully paying attention to every move that we were making publicly, especially anything to do with Dow and Bhopal," said Andy Bichlbaum of The Yes Men. "What surprised us in those emails, though, was that we would have assumed that Dow would be really concerned with the exact issue of Bhopal and Dow's responsibility, stuff that could directly impact their bottom line. But, what they, what Stratfor seems to be really a bit obsessed with is whether we or other organizations are going to draw this into a bigger critique of corporate power."

First we liberated Ieaq and that million fdigure America bashers use is a lie. Almost everyone killed in Iraq is by Ilsaic terrorists that amy goodman supports as she would support a Nazi, Pol Pot or any dcitator who the U.S opposes.

Unio Cabide you moron not Dow. Dow had nothing to do with Bhopal
But you want a 3rd party to pay for someone else's mistake you probaly also believe the dictator Corea who believes Chevron should pay for a 3rd company's damage.
Waterboard Julian Assange and Amy Goodman!

truly, your reasoning is nothing short of astounding. Stockholders should be reimbursed... but families of the dead and those disabled by Dow... ??? What about those who have no means to clean up their land after the mess Dow left behind??? Anyway try to see it from the pov of those that don't follow the "free market can't be wrong" religion.
