So stuff like this is why governments want to silence wikileaks.

Its not about saving troops lives or diplomats faces for criticizing world leaders haircut.

In case people dont know, shell and its oil explorations in nigeria have been ruining not just environment ,but kicking people out of their land and polluting rivers to a point people have to wash the fish they catch with soap to be able to eat it.

It is a known fact when a poor country finds oil it usually becomes even more empoverished and polluted.

If people think BP oil leak was bad, think about how Shell has been leaking oil in nigeria for years.

Huh, this little part is interesting:

An October 2009 cable quotes Ann Pickard, then-executive vice president for Shell companies in Africa, as saying Shell had "good sources." "... She said the GON (government of Nigeria) had forgoteen that Shell had seconded people to all the relevant ministries and that Shell consequently had access to everything that was being done in those ministries."

So Shell is basicly controlling the Nigerian Government if i read that right.

Welcome to Gamespot. Nothing new, sadly.

I love how OT jumps right to blaming the US when it has nothing to do with them.

Does Nigeria even have laws to prevent that sort of thing? IIRC, US businesses have to follow foreign laws when conducting business in another country, but if there is no law about that, I don't see the problem (besides the fact that Nigeria isn't doing anything about the destruction of their land) Also Shell isn't even a US company...Xeros606

I do, and I also know this whole "he is going to cause deaths" thing is complete and utter crap. Even the Pentagon has admited he hasnt actually done any harm to anyone.

But more idiotic was the rest of that statement, as though the the Nobel Peace prize hasnt been given to those in positions of considerable power and the ability to do extensive damage.

not to be too personal or anything, but im not surprised about your opinion on that.

Is what they are doing Lawfully right? Yes , and thats what counts from a government perspective.

Is what they are doing Morally right? No , and thats what counts from a individuals perspective.

Law and Moral have split, even if originally they where supposed to represent the same. Justice.

the flaws is simply that the first laws were originally based on morals.

Morals might not be absolute, but laws have since grown and now they are corrupted.

they have moved from a realm of moral values to a realm of restrictions based on power.
