Energy$olutions: Nuclear waste firm bolsters Bishop's bank - Salt Lake Tribune

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:42:00 -0000

EnergySolutions has deep pockets. And thanks to the benevolence of the company and a bill pending before Congress, U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop does, too.
The nuclear waste disposal firm and its executives have donated $28,200 to the Utah congressman's re-election campaign in the current election cycle, including nearly $25,000 since April. That's more than 40 percent of the money Bishop has received.

Foreign Policy In Focus | The Military-Petroleum Complex

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 09:27:20 -0000

In November 2002, before the invasion of Iraq, then secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld told Steve Kroft of CBS that U.S. saber-rattling toward Iraq had “nothing to do with oil, literally nothing to do with oil.” In 2003, Rumsfeld called the assertion that the United States had invaded Iraq to get at its oil “utter nonsense.” (“We don’t take our forces and go around the world and try to take other people’s . . . resources, their oil. That’s just not what the United States does.”) In 2005, speaking to American troops in Fallujah, Rumsfeld reiterated the point: “The United States, as you all know better than any, did not come to Iraq for oil.” Strong denials for sure, but were they true?

Decades-long residents and natives of an impoverished neighborhood, they are among 2,500 people who joined a lawsuit 2 1/2 years ago against big oil corporations and others over land contaminated by 30 years of offshore pipe cleaning at a site just east of the Harvey Canal, owned by the Grefer family.

In 1997, an Orleans Parish jury awarded the Grefers, including retired state Judge Joseph Grefer, $1 billion in punitive damages in their own lawsuit against ExxonMobil because of radioactive contamination that spoiled their land.
