    HackingTeam will sell directly to your company and then TunsmosPetroleum will add its own mark up.

    Re: Not Sure That This Ranks as an Outrage

    The outrage should be that a commercial company is saying that the laws (freedom of expression here) don't apply for people who are not Americans. I'll take the analogy to the extreme to highlight what I mean. What if a person was killed by an American organization or person. Does that killed person lose their legal rights because they are not an American citizen? I don't think so. This is just a play on words on Chevron's side to try and sidestep the law.
