c/ is not/ is/ depending on your definition of how to determine if something
is illegal. Certainly the US government is the world's single biggest
polluter with the most sites on the US superfund list, which I thought
doesn't include non US sites but could be wrong. Yet the US government did
pollute outside of US territory and may in fact be still doing so, not sure.
