US congress attacks Yahoo boss - 07 Nov 07

A US congressional committee has launched a blistering attack against the founders of internet giant Yahoo, describing the company's chief executive as an 'immoral pygmy.' Tony Cheng reports. It told Yahoo's chief executive his company is an 'immoral pigmy' for revealing information that led to the jailing of a Chinese journalist.




Shi Tao was jailed for 10 years in 2004, after distributing an email from the Chinese authorities - ordering journalists not to report any protests over the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

In a Chinese jail you have to work for 16 hours a day 7 days a week. You won't get that in the US.

FREE China from slavery.

Wouldn't they do the same thing here? If the US government asked for that info, I'm sure they would give it. You can't attack one company for a sickness in the whole system.

Yahoo should be tried for treason, conspiring with communists, and crimes against humanity.
