Executuve Order on Iraq's Resources/Oil

Excellent short read today on the Bush Executuve Order on Iraq's Resources/Oil:

Unilaterally declaring "a national emergency," Bush wrote: Any "judicial process is prohibited, and shall be deemed null and void with respect to . . . all Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products, and interests therein . . . in which any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest, that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of United States persons."

Get-out-of-Jail-Free Card for Oil Companies
Take a gander at Executive Order 13303, which President Bush signed on May 22.

It is innocuously entitled, "Protecting the Development Fund for Iraq and Certain Other Property in Which Iraq Has an Interest."

But that "other property" refers directly to-surprise, surprise--oil. And the purpose of the Executive Order seems to be to shield U.S. companies and oil execs from prosecution.
