I never cared for Eric Holder. Now after learning he's a tool for corporate America's evil doing, I consider him persona non grata.

Chiquita should be the poster child of what is wrong with multinational corporations. From the article referenced above:

It seems Mr. Holder was representing a company that surreptitiously aided in the murder of union organizers in South America. His appointment should have sent a clear signal to U.S. labor unions. Instead it seems everyone was swept up in the "thrill of victory".

Ya Eric Holder is a swell guy. He's right up there with Dick Cheney...
