OPEC AND THE ECONOMIC CONQUEST OF IRAQ
WHY IRAQ STILL SELLS ITS OIL   LA CARTEL
TWILIGHT OF THE NEOCON GODS

Harper's

Monday Oct 24, 2005


By Greg Palast

By special arrangement with Harper's magazine, we are reproducing  
here for the first time the entire updated article on the US  
government's secret schemes for seizing control of the oil fields of  
Iraq.
On Saturday, October 22, the Greg Palast investigative team received  
a Project Censored award, the "alternative Pulitzer Prize," for  
uncovering the State Department's confidential pre-war plans for the  
economic conquest of Iraq.

*****
...For months, the State Department denied the existence of this 323- 
page document ...

...The switch to an OPEC-friendly policy for Iraq was driven by Dick  
Cheney himself. "The person who is most influential in running  
American energy policy is the Vice President," who, said the insider,  
"thinks that security begins by . . . letting prices follow wherever  
they may."
