Why hasn't the U.S. seized the assets of Ray L. Hunt?
After all, isn't his new oil contract with the Kurds a prime example of someone "threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq", as described in Bush's latest totalitarian edict?

Congress should call Bush's bluff and demand that all of Ray Hunt's assets be seized, along with all of the assets of Hunt Oil, its executives and board of directors.

2. Then the Hunts wouldn't invite him to social hours when he retires to Dallas.
Though from I've heard, they don't want to invite him anyway.

3. FOB=free pass to break what ever laws yield the largest profit. I do wish congress would
act on this. It seems that since he was privvy to insiders intelligence, his actions seem poised for self enrichment off the blood of American soldiers (since it underminds the oil revenue sharing promise of the Iraqi government that we are currently backing.)

6. The Hunt deal is protecting US security...

If we can't exploit Iraq's oil somehow, then the Bush enablers may be forced to stage another terrorist event, causing the US to attack Iran. You think I'm joking?
