It is comprehensive although there will be those who will automatically conclude that the reporting is "biased" because UC's defense is well stated. Bear in mind, as well, that UC's alledged "liability" was predicated on two things, both tlatently stated by the Indian government: First, UC was a deep pockets and second, they engaged in a "dangerous activity" so liability was theirs regardless of how the tragedy occurred. As far as the WTC, it is not obvious that asbestos or any other means of structural protection would have been sufficient to protect the buildings against thousands of gallons of jet fuel burning virtually all at once. I have a hard time considering this to be a "corporate crime." -- Jay [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
