How about the 9-11 commission as a credible cite? A slew of Saudi citizens (150?) and 20+ members of the Bin Laden family were allowed to fly out in the week following 9-11 after cursory interviews by the FBI. It happened very quietly. It's in the 9-11 Commission report. All verified facts. Read into it what you want, that's a political issue. I think the Saudi's appreciated it.

Another free hint: >futures market. I know about the futures market. I also know that regardless of the price that the oil companies are paying when they actually exercise a buy, they are all making obscene profits from jacking prices for gasoline, fuel oil, and natural gas. >> ...following last year's highest ever annual profits in US History. >> Those US oil companies really care about the country. > >> Lets face it - it does not matter where the oil comes from - we're >> going to get screwed by the government giving away our resources and >> tax money and the oil companies making obscene profits. > >So give money to the farmers instead, Bob. That's my freaking point. Not bad... but there has to be a better reason than paying them not to grow things. There has to be a valid market and products. Don't expect the current administration of ex- and current oil company executives to be pushing alternate fuel development (again, not a political statement, just a factual observation - it ain't gonna happen).
