I had noticed this problem in the article, but there is in fact a much deeper contradiction that runs through the entiere piece: The Subject line flatly contradicts the very first sentence of the entire article. 1) Cheney Capital & the Gulf Disaster 2) Capital uses the environment as TAP AND SINK The subject line implies someting called "Cheney Capital" corrupts a fundaentally sound social structure. The first sentence claims that that social structure itself destroyes the enviornment. The problem here goes back both to Proudhon and Kautsky, both of whom argue (in different ways) that the problem with capitalism is it's immorality. This shadow of moralism lurks behind and poisons so much of what is intended as an attack on capitalism but in fact constitutes a defense of the system.
