Darkness in El Dorado Controversy - News Articles
When I first began collecting news on the ´scandal´, I merely created links to the source document. As it turns out, most of the news pieces are removed after a certain period, so you will find all of the documents are now mirrored within my site. There are links to the original documents on each of the pages. The articles below are listed by date of publication (most recent first). Please let me know of any news articles/stories that you know of that are not listed below, please contact me.
