Regarding the credit card issue, most of the airplane seat back phones allow you to dial the operator without using a credit card. This allows you to ask questions, supply a credit card number if your mag strip is bad, and do things like register your seat so people can call you in the air.
Like them or hate them, Shell didn't kill Ken Saro-Wiwa. The Nigerian GOVERNMENT killed Ken Saro-Wiwa, ignoring pleas by Shell and the rest of the world to stop it. The former Chairman of the Shell group even sent a personal letter appealing to the Nigerian Head of State to show clemency for Ken on humanitarian grounds to no avail.
Of course, Greenpeace is known for lying when it wants to. Take the Brent Spar case: "Tests by an independent Norwegian foundation, Det Norske Veritas, disproved claims by Greenpeace that the Spar was a 'toxic timebomb'. Greenpeace later apologized."
Believe what you want. The facts are on Shell's side, but don't let that stop you.
