GNN - Heard Through the Gata Nut Grapevines

(fact)
Oct 31 - UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- A United Nations committee
gave Iraq the green light Monday to open a euro-denominated
bank account to handle deposits from oil sales - a victory
in Baghdad's campaign to stop using the hated American currency.

(rumor)
... that not only IRAQ, but VENEZUELA and RUSSIA also wants
to be paid in Euros for oil. A time frame was not mentioned.
