These wikileaks has done more reporting in a couple of weeks than the entire mainstream media has done in years. Just reading through these cables, it occurs to me what an abysmal failure the press has been. regards, -Lance -------------------- WikiLeaks cables: Shell's grip on Nigerian state revealed US embassy cables reveal top executive's claims that company 'knows everything' about key decisions in government ministries The oil giant Shell claimed it had inserted staff into all the main ministries of the Nigerian government, giving it access to politicians' every move in the oil-rich Niger Delta, according to a leaked US diplomatic cable. The company's top executive in Nigeria told US diplomats that Shell had seconded employees to every relevant department and so knew "everything that was being done in those ministries". She boasted that the Nigerian government had "forgotten" about the extent of Shell's infiltration and were unaware of how much the company knew about its deliberations. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
