There was a report yesterday that worldwide demand for oil has shrunk by more than a million barrels a day, leaving OPEC scrambling to figure out how to prop the price up, since they always cheat each other on the agreed production quotas. And the world was heading this way before 9-11, only its accelerated greatly now that air travel is down significantly and I think we will see some dramatic numbers in output throughout the world in coming months. In hindsight the attack seems very brilliant if all these consequences were intended. That may be giving them too much credit for planning.
