Clearing the way for TALISMAN in Sudan? U.S. Contacts Sudan, Cuba for Help By GEORGE GEDDA Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON, Sep 18, 2001 (AP) -- The Bush administration has been in contact with Sudan and Cuba - both on the U.S. terrorist list - in search of cooperation in last week's terrorist attacks, the State Department said Tuesday. Secretary of State Colin Powell called Sudanese Foreign Minister Osman Ismail Mustafa and took note of Sudan's offer of cooperation in combatting terrorism. It was the highest level communication between the two countries in years, and State Department spokesman Richard Boucher called the conversation a good beginning. Boucher also said a U.S. official visited Cuba's diplomatic mission in Washington and asked for whatever information Cuba may have about the terrorist attack. Cuba has strongly condemned the Sept. 11 disaster. The United States lists Cuba, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq and North Korea as supporters or sponsors of terrorism. The United States has contacted only Cuba, Sudan and Syria in investigating the attack.

yes, and in particular I remember 1999 -g The only thing about '98 is that oil prices were substantially different (and US dollar as well). So, with concerns over industrial demand and world slowdown, will OPEC stay in control or will the likes of Russia prod, etc. throw a wrench into the works. IMO, the U.S. keeps trying to talk down oil prices or encourage lower prices (to OPEC) "because" of the spectre of worldwide slowdown, however I can't help but think that if the U.S. dollar cracks, there's a substantial population in the world that will benefit from what would then be lower prices (to them) which would effectively stimulate those economies and some demand. (recognizing that this is a big if, given weakening industrial demand, etc). Anyways, watching oil prices and the U.S. dollar with interest, plus unfolding events related to last week's tragedies. AGAs out at 11:30ET tomorrow, I guess. AECO spot weak at C$2.34-$2.43. Regards, t.
