Tomas, hello "Should the recent appointment by Ottawa of John Harker to investigate Talisman's operations in the Sudan, result in conclusions that are unfavourable to the company, it could sell the assets "at a significant profit." At a cost to Talisman of about $750-million, its Sudanese assets represent 10% of its total oil and gas assets, he notes. "This is certainly a modest risk exposure to a very prolific region."" Well....what a revoltin' development this is becoming. Sell at a profit? How about keep producing at a much bigger profit? I must say, concerns about human rights are being poorly aimed at the easiest target around. Where were the bleeding hearts before Talisman? They've had a few decades to work up their righteous indignation. This whole thing smacks of political opportunism here. Enough, I suppose. Any other former Arakis suckers out there upset about this turn of events, now that it looks like we might actually approach breaking even? Talisman had better wake up and begin managing this problem, starting with a firm spin to the right, JMHO. Regards and good luck to all, Aggie
