		<description>The way the two major political ideologies are going in this country, would make you wonder if we would ever get to the point of killing each other. We already do character assassination. What&#039;s next?

		<description>Who issued the fine?  Was it some U.S. authority?

Remember, one man&#039;s terrorist is another man&#039;s freedom fighter...

		<description>I think instead of the fine, Chiquita should give free bananas to schools and food warehouses for the poor until the $25 million fine is paid in full.

This will keep shipping companies and delivery people fully employed and hungry one&#039;s tummies full. :)

		<description>It&#039;s a sad state of affairs in Colombia right now, when kidnappings are at an all-time high.

While I can see Chiquita wanting to just &#039;make the problem go away,&#039; funding the terrorists with 1.7 million dollars only increases the problem.

They should have listened to their attorneys who said the payments were inappropriate.

Is the $25 million fine too high?

I dunno.

How will Chiquita deal now if workers suddenly start &#039;losing their heads?&#039;  It was a very bad precedent to begin paying the terrorists in the first place, but I doubt they are going to take no for an answer without first wreaking havoc.

We need to take that fine money and HELP Chiquita fight the terrorist threat against their workers.

Oh wait - we can&#039;t do that - even though the terrorist group is right-wing, the idea of terrorism is a leftist, fascist staple in our world.

....sigh.....

		<description>It must be nice to get paid 25 million to deem groups of foreigners as terrorist.It is only by definition, I wonder who the real mafia is?
