WilliamJH, Yes, following Talisman situation- this thing IMO gets a whole lot deeper than the article lets on too. there has been a series of confidential hearings on the Sudan/East Africa situation by the US Congress over the last few weeks by Committees including African Affairs.

Details that were developed were horrific... will come out in the open as the story plays out.... there are going to be some tarballs sticking to some people shortly in the energy industry....

It reminds me of the lyrics from the Warren Zevon Song "Lawyers, Guns, and Money" from his "Excitable Boy" Album:

"I went home with the waitress
Like I always do.
How was I to knoooow,
She was with the Russians too!

I'm hiding in Havana,
I took a little risk.
Send lawyers, guns, and money,
Get me out of this!

I'm hiding in Honduras,
I'm a desperate man,
Dad send lawyers,guns,and money,
The shit has hit the fan!"

And of course backed up by world class guitar riffs by Waddy Wachtel...
