"U.S. BOOSTS IMPORTS OF IRAQI OIL
Chevron, Exxon, BP and Shell have doubled US imports of Iraqi oil from 0.5
million barrels per day in November to over 1 million barrels per day to
compensate for imports lost from Venezuela due to the ongoing strike which
has nearly halted production in the South American country. The trade with
Iraq is legal under the terms of UN's oil-for-food program."

Bill Weinberg referring to a story in last Sunday's Observer.

And one to amuse ;-) the_magician:

"SUVs GET $75,000 TAX BREAK
The Jan. 20 edition of the trade journal Detroit News/Autos Insider
reports: "President Bush's economic stimulus plan could triple the size of
a little-known tax loophole that some small business owners are using to
finance purchases of large SUVs. One of Bush's proposed tax cuts would
raise from $25,000 to $75,000 the amount small business owners--including
doctors, lawyers and financial advisers--can write off when buying an SUV
for business purposes."
