Chino I think this judge should be reprimanded If he owns stock that would call into question his ruling, then he should not have taken the case. I agree with his ruling though. It is foolishness to cut all drilling for 6 months because of this BP negligence. Perhaps cut the deep stuff or be strict on compliance to ensure necessary precautions/continingency plans are in place but to ban all drilling for 6 months is not needed or best for the country. Re: Afghan and your comment on the goodness of a timetable - From Stratfor makes my point "Security is proving elusive and the population does not appear to be as interested or as willing to break with the Taliban and join the side of the Afghan government as had been anticipated. So while there have absolutely been tactical gains against the Taliban, and in some areas local commanders are feeling the pinch, the Taliban perceive themselves as winning the war and are very aware of the tight U.S. timetable Regards Neil
