Selling Iraq’s Oil
Re “Immunity for Iraqi Oil Dealings Raises Alarm,” Aug. 7: Kudos to The Times for giving front-page coverage to President Bush’s executive order granting U.S. oil companies blanket immunity from lawsuits and criminal prosecution in connection with the sale of Iraqi oil. If anyone is still blind or naive enough to believe the U.S. invaded Iraq to promote liberty and democracy, this article should dispel the last shred of doubt as to the real reason.
