Democracynow.org: Democrats Question Iraq Oil Contract Signed by Bush Fundraiser.

Meanwhile new questions are being raised over how a personal friend of President Bush secured an oil deal with the Kurdish regional government in Iraq. The Texas-based company Hunt Oil signed the deal in September. Hunt CEO Ray Hunt has been a key Republican fundraiser. He sits on the board of directors for Halliburton and is a member of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board under an appointment from President Bush. On Monday Democratic Congressmen Henry Waxman and Dennis Kucinich questioned whether Hunt used nonpublic information learned from his position on the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board to further his company's economic interests.

Easy answer Yes. Look the White House distracted the Law Makers as the friends made contacts. Remember how the White House kept saying they didn't want the Kruds to divid the oil rights from all of Iraq. Yes while the public was looking at the right the Cheney squad was dealing on the left. It's an old trick and it work with the Public talking about Clinton when the GOP was sitting up the Crime Family and Judges.
