This is an interesting story on a number of fronts . . .
1) Should Christian families/ organisations sue ever ?
2) Isn’t it interesting that so many neo-cons paint a picture of business vs socialism, but this is but one of many examples of multinational corporations being in bed with Marxists, facists, terrorists, and tyrants of every stripe ?
| Kin of missionaries slain in Colombia sue Chiquita The company is accused of funding Colombian killers of New Tribes members. Gary Taylor | Sentinel Staff Writer March 15, 2008 The families of five Florida-based missionaries kidnapped and slain by Colombian terrorists filed suit this week against Cincinnati-based Chiquita Brands International, accusing the well-known banana grower of providing the killers with money, guns and ammunition. Mark Rich, Dave Mankins and Rick Tenenoff were kidnapped in Panama by guerrillas and taken to Colombia in January 1993. Their bodies were never found, but a judge declared them dead in 2002. Steve Welsh and Timothy Van Dyke were abducted in 1994 from a mission school in Colombia, taken into the jungle and killed. All five were missionaries with Sanford-based New Tribes Mission, which also joined in the suit. |
