IT'S ABOUT THE _ _ _

Judicial Watch has released some of the documents from the Cheney Energy Task Force, and we might just have an idea why he so desperately tried to keep them under wraps: They include maps of Iraqi oil fields and information on potential foreign suitors.

And, of course, this was all done prior to 9/11. A little bit more insight into Rummy's order that morning to conduct a "massive sweep" of intel to try to link the attacks to Saddam, I suppose.

Something to consider, though, is that this was leaked, meaning that Cheney probably wanted it to be seen, so I'm reluctant to go out dancing in the streets on this one. There are similar maps for Saudia Arabia and the UAE among the released documents. But of course, maps of Iraqi oil fields mean that the Cheney types had designs on acquiring such oil, and to do that would require "regime change", and so on... (again, all this was discussed even before 9/11)
