Clinton Link in Brazil Ethanol Probe

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) — A team from Brazil's Labor Ministry found "degrading" living conditions for 133 sugarcane workers employed by an ethanol company whose investors include former President Clinton and other high-profile financial players.

At five sites inspected, workers "complained they were suffering from hunger and cold, and all of the locations were overcrowded and with terrible sanitary conditions," according to a statement issued Friday by Jaqueline Carrijo, who led the inspections last month.

The target of the probe, Brazil Renewable Energy Co., known as Brenco, apologized over the weekend and said it is fixing the problems at its rural operations, which turn sugarcane into ethanol.

Clinton's connection is via an investment in Brenco by The Yucaipa Cos., a U.S.-based fund in which Clinton was a senior advisor until last year. His investment in Brenco is valued between $15,001 and $50,000, according to a financial dislosure report submitted last year by his wife, presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Unless they sold the stock or recieved a dividend, the tax return would not disclose all investments...

2. Well, there's obviously a reason she's reluctant to release her tax returns...

If there isn't she would have already done it.

[WCGreen]

7. Here's the deal; we are not talking about the 2007 tax returns.....

Doh!

[WCGreen]

9. Duh, they are talking about all the tax returns...

8. It's important to search out where your hedge/mutual fund is investing...

Warren Buffet, now the richest man in the world, is invested in Chinese oil...Chinese oil is everywhere else American oil wants to be including funding-from-afar the genocide in Dafur. Are you advocating 'smart/green money'? The downside to the investments of the Clinton's? Or the elimination of wealthy Dems and their fund raising participation? Or just the ones that would seem to favor the Clinton's?
