Banana company Chiquita Brands International was charged Wednesday with doing business with a terrorist organization.
Federal prosecutors said the company and several unnamed high-ranking corporate officers did business with the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia. The group is described in court documents as a violent right-wing organization that the U.S. has designated as a terrorist organization.

That figures, no left wing organizations have ever been designated terrorists orginazations.Shining Path, FARC, and other Communists and Maoist organizations are considered to be self help groups.

Let's hope no one takes the Eli Black solution to their problems ...
... in 1975, while running United Fruit (now known as Chiquita), Eli Black one day “smashed through his window on the 44th floor of the Pan Am Building (now the MetLife Building) in New York and fell to his death in the northbound lane of Park Avenue.

- Yes, that was a banana in their pocket; and
- No, they weren't glad to see you.
To: mdittmar
NOT CHIQUITA BANANA!!!
I'm Chiquita Banana and I'm here to say
That you can eat bananas any time of day
Bananas taste delicious when you peel and eat
And bananas with milk are such a nourishing treat!
Wholesome and then some!
