Texaco completed its pipeline from the rain forest to the Pacific coast of Ecuador in 1972. From 1972 to 1989, 1.4 billion barrels of oil passed through the pipeline.

Although probing the lives of candidates only gives fodder for crude sensationalism, any alleged breaches of ethics while in office should be investigated. But the American people have already showed us that they don't care that much about ethics. When they are again disappointed with their representatives, we can only urge them to remember on the next election...
