EDO MBM threatens IMC UK: "You can't call us warmongers"

On Friday morning the following letter was sent by email to IMC UK's contact address, threatening libel action over the suggestion that EDO:

(a) are warmongerers;
(b) are complicit in the deaths of innocent people; and
(c) make things that kill children.

Since their business is the manufacture of weapons (see  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/02/304814.html), these would all seem to be at the very least fair comment, and arguably simple fact.

(Text below, original M$ Word file attached.)

The subject of the complaint would appear to be the following pages:

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/01/303499.html
 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/01/304182.html
 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/01/304521.html

and posibly others, which report on the ongoing campaign against this company.

Definite shadows of McLibel and GANDALF here...

This Week's SchNEWS - Growing Dissent!

“The US has been imposing patents on life around the world through trade deals. In this case [Iraq], they invaded the country first, then imposed their patents. This is both immoral and unacceptable.” Shalini Bhutani, GRAIN.

“Seeds are the software - and we have the seeds.” - Anonymous corporate seed company executive.

With agriculture providing the main source of income for two and a half billion people the effects of biotechnology are immense. Farmers across the world are being locked into a cycle of dependency on biotechnology companies, who of course just want to help them to feed the world.
