#1 Anybody else notice that Iraqi-born oil industry consultant, Falah Aljibury, looks like Mike Wallace. There are always plans for every contingency and many competing plans for any contingency. The US should be judged on what it does, not for what it might have done or might do. This is the sort of thing I expect from the BBC, but I had thought better of Harpers.

#3 Yes! That proves the oil company conspiracy! Wait a minute ... if they are conspiring, and are so evil, why can't they keep the price steadily rising?
