Regarding the Saro Wiwa trial, again, if you have any command of the facts, you will know that Shell appealed for clemency in the case on behalf of Mr. Wiwa. I find it interesting that people, who would otherwise be outraged at the idea of a multi-national using its weight to direct or strongly influence a country’s politics and social agenda are suddenly upset when a company does not do that, but leaves political matters to a country’s government. Do you really want Shell and others starting to play that role? On reflection I would think not.
