nspolar, ROCE- that limits what level of risk the owners in a new North Slope pipeline will undertake.... Also how do you interpret this statement by Israel tonight? From a new webpage, partial article:

"A senior Bush administration source told CNN that al Qaeda and a Somali-based Islamist group, Al-Ittihad al-Islami, or AIAI, topped the list of suspects. The official and other U.S. officials said they believe AIAI is associated with al Qaeda.

As a result of the Kenyan attacks, Israel believes it is now part of the global war on terrorism.

"We don't choose the battleground. We don't choose the enemy. They choose us. And we are now involved," a senior Israeli official.

Ephraim Halevy, former head of Mossad and currently Sharon's special liaison for Iraq issues, addressed the Kenyan attacks at a national conference on security Monday in Herzliya, Israel..

He said it would be "correct" to understand what happened in Mombasa as if the scenario resulted in an even larger tragedy -- if the planes would have been shot down too -- to "judge the new situation on this basis."

"The realization of a mega-terrorist attack against Israel by international jihad or by other terrorist organizations changes the rules of the game," Halevy said.

"It changes the national spirit and creates international dynamics which open before us new options that until now were unacceptable by international public opinion."
