Iraqi Lawmakers Question Oil-Development Deals

By GINA CHON

BAGHDAD�A handful of lawmakers from the Iraqi parliament's oil and gas
committee on Sunday questioned the legality of petroleum-development
deals signed last week with BP PLC, Exxon Mobil Corp. and other big oil
companies.

The opposition isn't likely to derail the agreement, but it raises the
specter of fresh political uncertainty for foreign oil executives, who
have just recently warmed to the idea of investing in Iraq's vast but
undertapped oil fields. Last week, the Iraqi oil ministry signed initial
deals with consortia led by Exxon and Eni SpA, along with a final
agreement with a consortium headed by BP and China National Petroleum
Corp.

read all about it.
In this shocking memoir, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John
Perkins tells of his own inner journey from willing servant of empire to
impassioned advocate for the rights of oppressed people. Covertly
recruited by the United States National Security Agency and on the
payroll of an international consulting firm, he traveled the world�to
Indonesia, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and other
strategically important countries. His job was to implement policies
that promoted the interests of the U.S. corporatocracy (a coalition of
government, banks, and corporations) while professing to alleviate
poverty�policies that alienated many nations and ultimately led to
September 11 and growing anti-Americanism. Within a few weeks of its
release , Confessions of an Economic Hit Man landed onThe New York Times
Bestseller List, then 19 other bestseller lists including the Los
Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Wall Street Journal,
and Washington Post. The author has been interviewed repeatedly on
national radio and television shows, including Amy Goodman's Democracy
Now, CSPAN's Book TV, and PBS' Now with David Brancaccio. And now the
book is being published in 9 languages around the world. According to
John Perkins, "It is accomplishing an important objective in inspiring
people to think and talk and to know that we can change the world."
