The company said it wanted compensation after 600 campaigners shut down all its 28 Esso petrol stations in the country for 14 hours last October, accusing Exxon of lobbying Washington to pullout of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change.

I wish someone would explain to Reuters that President Clinton's signature on Kyoto was in no way ratification of that treaty, therefore there is no agreement for the United States to pull out of.

No kidding, talk about the mother of all PR stunts..

Clinton signs, then doesn't submit for ratification because he knows it would be laughed out of congress and the public would hang him for it.. But he still get's full credit from the greenies somehow?

Why aren't they calling him "coward" and spitting on him for this half hearted, public ditching of Koyoto?

Maybe that someone should be FOX. On news program after news program, they should point out how Reuters got it wrong, again, and make the above correction. I believe that FOX, as a fair and balanced news outlet, is obligated to shed much light on how the mainstream media lies and acts as socialist activists.
