Why is the Investing World standing for this ? << U.S. DOE Says Crude, Gasoline Supply Rose, Although Less Than API Reported Washington, Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. crude oil inventories increased by 2.6 million barrels to 332.8 million barrels in the week ending Jan. 29, the U.S. Department of Energy says. This compares with last night's report by the industry- funded American Petroleum Institute which said crude inventories increased 6.1 million barrels to 333.4 million barrels in the same period. >> ********************************************************************************* There are all ready a couple of hundred million ''lost'' barrels of Oil; now we have 3.5 Million Barrels in just one week trying to get ''snuck'' into the figures ... Can the IEA, or the API be trusted ? Remember the Saudi Oil Ministers allegations of high level trading manipulations ? Something is going on & someone is profiting handsomely . If these were inflation statistics affecting interest rates - people would be up in arms; but since this ''crime'' leads to low prices at the pump for all America - virtually $1000 cash per year in the pocket of the average American Driver - better than a tax cut ! An interesting story here if some investigative Reporter cracks this one - Pulitzer Prize stuff here...

FEBRUARY 03, 22:12 EST Venezuela May Help US-Cuba Conflict CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's newly installed president, Hugo Chavez, might serve as an intermediary in the four-decade conflict between the United States and Cuba, Venezuela's foreign minister said Wednesday. Chavez has not had any official talks about the idea, but believes he would be well-suited for such a role and plans to study the possibility, said Jose Vicente Rangel. It was not immediately clear how feasible the proposal might be, given the long-standing hostilities between Washington and Havana. Chavez, 44, enjoys good relations with Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who spent much of Tuesday near Chavez's side during inauguration events. Chavez's relations with the United States have been strained in the past but are improving. He had been barred from entering the United States after leading a failed 1992 coup attempt, but was granted a visa after winning a landslide victory in December. Last week he met President Clinton in the White House. On Tuesday, U.S. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, also in Caracas for the inauguration, said Chavez ''is a potential leader in the hemisphere.'' Rangel said the Chavez government opposes the economic blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba. On Thursday, Chavez will attend a military parade traditionally held the day after a new president is inaugurated. Chavez pushed back the event by a day to coincide with the seventh anniversary of his Feb. 4, 1992, failed coup attempt."
