What did they do in Angola?  You just through out a statement.  Very
typical answer for you.  Show me something on this scale.  Not just I am
sure they did, show some proof even an accusation such as this.  I am not
saying they did or not, but I haven't read it, if you have it put it out. 
Otherwise it is just FUD.

Of course, trot out the well worn line about everything in the ME being
done for oil.  Say it enough and it becomes true right?

Again, what does Adam's guess that possible intel types went in with oil
people in Libya, have to do with MI-6 being accused of helping BP install a
more friendly government.  More FUD. Apples and oranges, mate.
