Coming up next: Did you buy it from Target or from Wal-Mart? From Albertsons or Whole Foods?
May be they cannot have UN and federal government stop trade of these items. The governments should know the routes and distributors. I have not looked into this deeply but sure we impede the aggressors a bit but what happens to those laborers who earn their living by digging these things up in appalling conditions? Looks like a complex issue.

Subject: [TN] Conflict Minerals
We have been receiving requests from customers for statements thta our products do not have any content of minerals from conflict areas, e.g. Congo. Anyone else getting these? How are you handling them?
The point behind this is apparently to avoid providing funding of aggressors through the purchase of minerals from areas in conflict. A quick glance at this makes it look even worse than RoHS, now it is not simply the materials in the components, but from where they originate.
