"No vice-president of a leading company would commit in writing to a highly placed official statements that did not reflect company policy. Dr Ha's statements are therefore evidence of Nike's embrace of anti-democratic values. We have worked with Nike for the past two years as a non-governmental partner to the White House Apparel Industry Partnership. We are therefore particularly dismayed at Ms Jones's use of the Apparel Industry Partnership as "evidence" of Nike's labour-friendly corporate practices."
