I have no interest in defense of Bono, but I hate to see such blatant bias and lack of logic. When one company buys another, or part of another as in this case, it is because it is a successful company making a profit in the spirit of capitalism. I don't think that Bono's original claim was to sell and distribute these products sustainably, but to manufacture them sustainably (i.e., organic cotton) and to pay the laborers a fair wage so they can sustain their lives. If you truly want to see these populations prosper, you have to be willing to pay them so they can sustain their own lives without the need for 'bail outs' from other countries and charity. Those bail outs support the dictators and make their populations more dependent. You may not want to buy a $70 T-shirt but someone is buying them and Bono apparently made a profit from his original investment. It isn't your business what he made as it isn't your business what any other capitalist entrepreneur made. If you want to attack hypocrisy, focus on Al Gore who has made millions and received a Nobel Prize based on fear mongering and lies.
