Why isn't MB Sales' contact info on that page? They seem to be the ones most directly connected to the situation.

I'm interested in Vietnam stories since I live there, but where are the sources, or at least some kind of references to who is writing this information, and how this information was obtained?

This has to be at least like 5 years old given that Michael Eisner is listed as the CEO of Disney.

They list their sources at the bottom of the page.

This article looks incredibly old. The dates in it, 1992 and 1997, along with the webpage itself, makes it seem ancient. Why was this posted?

Also, there's not much point in sending anything to James R. Cantalupo, since he died 7 years ago: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/20/business/james-r-cantalupo... And Michael Eisner hasn't been Disney Chief Executive since 2005: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Eisner
