Certainly gives more credibility to the story I posted in September about 
Unocal's influence in the region.

I've also heard on NPR Radio similar reports by former FBI agents who were 
told to drop their investigations or were moved onto other projects without 
explanation once this adminstration took the reins when they were making 
progress on bin Laden investigations...

To me, this is one more blatant reason we need to be producing 100% of our 
energy requirements from within the US.  And there's not enough oil in the 
country to do so, but there's _plenty_ of wind and solar (photovoltaic and 
fuel cell) energy to do so. (For those who missed it, SanFran voters 
decided to support a major solar energy program for the city:

It's also good to see that OneWorld news is getting additional exposure now 
through Yahoo News...
