Underreported: Chevron in Burma
Thursday, May 01, 2008
Find out more about Chevron's support of the repressive military regime in Burma. Chevron co-owns the Yadana natural gas pipeline, which is the Burmese government’s single largest source of income and undermines international sanctions against the regime. Rick Herz is litigation coordinator with Earth Rights International, which worked on the Doe v. Unocal lawsuit brought by Burmese villagers against Unocal (which was later bought by Chevron).
Listen to Leonard's October 2007 segment on the Doe v. Unocal lawsuit

Chevron named a 129,000-ton oil
supertanker SS Condoleezza Rice.
no joke 'google image' it
Isn't it reasonable to assume that if Chevron pulls out of Burma, that energy-hungry China would simply step in and take over Chevron's role of helping to prop up the Burmese military? Net result: zero (regrettably).
