Did anyone see the short on the news tonight, about a US gold mining corporation paying protection money to the Muslim militants in the Philippines (over 2 million$), while our people over there were being held hostage and beheaded?

And when they took it to the US government anti-terrorist people, they refused to accept it.

Here are some short notes I made:

Americans corporations
giving funds to terrorist groups
abu sayeff - muslim terrorist
US gold mining company
Echo bay mining (not sure - name didn't come across static)
colorado
philippines

I was having a spirited debate about politics with my mom and she said that US oil companies have been down in South America greasing palms since she was a little girl (esp. Chavez and his ilk conspiring with the Arabs to steal oil from Trinidad). I didn't see what you saw, but I believe it.
