I think that they made over 40 billion in profit last year. They pushed the price of crude above $100 per barrel and then drove up the price of gas because crude was so high. Then they sued Chavez and Venezuela because he wanted to keep some of the profit for the people who owned the resource. I think that they found some stupid damn court in Britain to agree with them on that so they will probably find another court of that ilk to help out with this. Welcome to the global economy where corporations are richer than some governments and are not slow to flex their muscle.
It has 19 years since this disaster and "JUSTICE" is not only blind but stupid as well!
