I'd suggest you do some reading. The WTO is an autonomous organization with no allegiance to any state or individual. Their interests are the corporatization of the planet and the centralization of wealth and power within the corporate sphere of influence (obviously this must be achieved by taking it away from the private citizen and state).

And their record on protecting the environment, particular marine life such as the dolphin, is atrocious. What is important to understand in all things related to the WTO is that it acts to "prohibit discrimination between 'like products' on the basis of where they are produced and to also forbid discrimination between products based on how they are produced (Who's Trade Organization, p. 28, emphasis in original).

This means it is, in the WTO's eyes, discriminatory to enact laws which may attempt to prohibit the importantion of goods produced by means we might find abhorrant, environmentally damaging, or otherwise unethical, because it would be a barrier to free enterprise. So banning the importantion of seafood caught with devices such as purse seines, the large nets used to literally sweep the ocean clean of all marine life they can ensnare, is an unfair and discriminatory policy, and the US was forced to make such drastic concessions to it's domestic policy in this regard that the label of "Dolphin-Safe Tuna" is a complete misnomer and means nothing.. yep, enjoy your lunch.. tasty mammal isn't it?

For more information on a highly engaging but rather accademic book (meaning it's got big words and not designed to be an easy reader) on the WTO check this link: http://www.citizen.org/publications/release.cfm?ID=7304

And you thought Bill Clinton was a Democrat? I believe history will regard him as one of the craftiest Republicans of the 20th century, for his record in relation to the implementation of the WTO shows his concerns were not with the citizens of his country, but with his corporate friends. Mmmm, sorry, troll mode off..

I still love tuna tho.. =(
