ChevronTexaco, predictably, claims its being framed. Rather, it seems another Latin American government is finding more assertiveness against Yanqui business imperialism.
Beyond that, a lawyer for Ecuador says the government isn’t involved in any civil tort litigation against Chevron, only the fraud charges against two Chevron lawyers for allegedly trying to perpetrate an environmental cover-up.
The civil case stems from pre-merger Texaco's drilling activity in the Ecuadorean portion of the Amazon.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
