Interesting article about Dow

[Guest guest]

I guess our old friend Dow Chemical has been up to no good for

years. Here's an article I found:

GOOD NEWS : INTERNATIONAL COURT INDICTS DOW & MONSANTO

For over three decades, Dow and Monsanto have denied that Agent

Orange is toxic, thereby avoiding billions of dollars in financial

liabilities resulting from the massive and indiscriminate spraying

of the toxic defoliant during the Vietnam War. In a landmark lawsuit

last month, a Seoul, Korea High Court ruled against Monsanto and Dow

in favor of Korean veterans who fought in the Vietnam War and have

suffered serious health injuries from Agent Orange. The court ruled

there is ample evidence that Monsanto and Dow knew how toxic Agent

Orange was before the corporations dumped 19 million gallons of the

now banned herbicide on Vietnam between 1965 and 1972. The court

said there is conclusive scientific data connecting Agent Orange

with 11 types of medical conditions, including non-Hodgkin's

lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, prostate cancer and diabetes. Empowered

by the successful lawsuit, Korean and Vietnamese veterans will rally

outside the White House in April, calling on the U.S. government to

assist in efforts to pay the victims of Agent Orange compensation

for medical costs associated with exposure to the herbicide.
