Scot, Tomm,
Things are much quieter today on the Bhopal issue.
Bhopal Central Chronicle and the Daily Pioneer both posted
articlessourced from PTI on the ICJB protest against Dow
participating in theAquatech trade show. BCC's piece was quite
short; the Pioneer posted anabbreviated version of the longer PTI
wire piece from Wednesday afternoon.

Daily Pioneer also posted for the Bhopal edition of its website
mediatoday a short version of Tuesday's ICJB press release
criticizing theBMHRC's practices in drug trials that included gas
victims.

French media site Journal del Environment posted an article on
theupcoming ICMR report on cancer incidence in Bhopal and possible
links toMIC gas exposure. This article has a response from Sarangi
criticizing thefindings. He said data was only collected at "5 of
the 64 hospitals andclinics that should have been followed. There
is also a problem of data
presentation, they talk about contaminated areas instead of
talking topeople affected by the gas. Finally, in this report, no
mention is madeof pollution lanappe table."

Also, NYT reporter Eric Lipton wrote an article on Louisiana
charity theJindal Foundation, to which Dow contributed $100,000.
The paragraph on Downoted neither it nor UCC have been fined for a
December 2009 chemicalspill in St. Charles parish, despite the
state proposing a fine for thecompanies. The article as a whole
questions whether companies areinfluencing Louisiana governor Bobby
Jindal through the charitablefoundation, which is run under his
wife's name.
