We've all been assured, time and again, that invading Iraq had nothing to do with oil. Very recently leaked internal (confidential) government documents indicate a production sharing agreement was just reached between private companies and the council appointed to head Iraq's oil reserves. Surprise, surprise. Read the original here, or the new version's translation here. Watch this from Jim Hightower.
PS: Check out -- "The Price of Oil" and "Whose Oil is it, Anyway?", which was printed in the NYT 3/13/07, just after the documents above were leaked.
