Bhopal Update

Where’s Warren? Warren Anderson, that is, who ran Union Carbide in 1984 at the time of the Bhopal disaster in India and who has since disappeared from view. Protesters in India and worldwide seeking justice for victims are putting the heat on the Indian government, which is vacillating about whether it will bring murder charges against Anderson or let him slide with a misdemeanor negligence charge. It appears, naturally, that it is pressure from the US government (” How hard would it be to find Anderson if the US authorities really wanted to track him down? “) and Dow Chemicals (which has taken over the assets of Union Carbide) to preserve business arrangements that is leading to the Indian government’s ambivalence.
