[CTRL] Gasoline Panic Bubble Bursts; Pump Prices Set to Fall
-Caveat Lector- Wednesday June 6 2:48 PM ET Gasoline Panic Bubble Bursts; Pump Prices Set to Fall By Richard Valdmanis NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. gasoline pump prices are poised to head lower following a large drop in the wholesale market, blotting out doomsday predictions of $3 gasoline this summer, industry experts said Wednesday. ``There was a lot of fear that drove prices up to begin with, and now it's clear that that fear was misplaced,'' said Ken Miller, analyst for Purvin and Gertz in Houston. ``Pump prices are certainly going to come down.'' Wholesale gasoline prices in most areas of the country have fallen between 15 and 25 percent since their highs at the end of May due to steadily growing supply. The cost of the fuel fresh from refineries in the Gulf Coast is now as low as 73 cents a gallon, compared with 91 cents less than two weeks ago. The supply growth has erased a deep deficit and brought U.S. gasoline stocks to more than six million barrels, or 3 percent, ahead of last year. This is attributed to a brisk domestic refining pace and strong imports, according to the American Petroleum Institute (API). The outlook could awaken the nation's motorists from their gasoline nightmare, caused by near-record retail prices of $1.69 a gallon, and more than $2 a gallon in certain areas of the West Coast and Midwest, according to the American Automobile Association's (AAA) daily survey. The high prices were driven by fears of short supplies this summer -- a season of traditionally high gasoline demand -- and recollections of last year's spike in the Midwest which drove prices as high as $2.75 in some major cities. But this summer's relief is not likely to come immediately, analysts said, since retailers often take two weeks or more to start reflecting their lower costs at the pumps. ``It looks like the improved supplies will be depressing gasoline prices at the marketplace,'' said Jerry Cheske, spokesman for the AAA. ``But, historically speaking, retail prices are slower to follow wholesale declines than increases.'' Cheske added that regional supply disruptions, like a refinery shutdown or a pipeline leak, could send prices at some service stations the other way. Also, Iraq's cutoff of most of its oil exports due to a row with the United Nations could keep crude oil prices high and offer support for gasoline values. Nonetheless, the improved outlook puts the prospect of $3 gasoline farther out of reach, even after reports of oil companies ordering large number '3's in California this spring to hang in the dollar slot at filling stations. ``The shortage is over,'' said one Texas gasoline trader Wednesday. ``There's plenty of gasoline out there.'' --- "I understand the unicorn's song, And my own is made of owls and flowers; I have made my voice of night and time; My shadow goes before me like a spear." -- from Taliesin and the Dark http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- --- "I understand the unicorn's song, And my own is made of owls and flowers; I have made my voice of night and time; My shadow goes before me like a spear." -- from Taliesin and the Dark -Original Message- Subject: Environmental Alerts - Care2 I. NEW ALERT: Help Clear the Air in America's National Parks! Many of the U.S. national parks are affected by regional haze -- caused by the emissions of sulfur dioxide from old, inefficient power plants -- that threatens park resources and values, as well as the health of park visitors. The air pollution problem is especially bad in cherished parks such as Grand Canyon in Arizona, Big Bend in Texas, Shenandoah in Virginia, and the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina/Tennessee. Right now, our best opportunity to clear the air comes from bipartisan legislation aimed at reducing polluting emissions from electric power plants. To help, please go to http://www.care2.com/go/redirect/2/1918. Coal-fired power plants have jeopardized parks such as Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the nation's most-visited park, with air pollution so heavy that historic mountain vistas are being fogged out of sight. At Great Smokies overlooks where visitors 40 years ago could see mountains 100 miles away, summer views are now reduced by haze to less than 15 miles. Wildlife suffers from this air pollution, too. Researchers at Great Smokies have documented damage from ground-level ozone to 30 different plant species and observed an additional 60 species with ozone-like damage. Encourage your member of Congress to support legislation to require polluting power plants to modernize and reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and mercury. Click here: http://www.care2.com/go/redirect/2/1918 When you respond to this appeal about clearing the air in America's national parks, Care2's nonprofit partner, the National Parks Conservation Association, will send you periodic email alerts on this and other conservation issues. Please help by clicking here: http://www.care2.com/go/redirect/2/1918 II. ACTIVIST TIPS ** Save money on air conditioning by planting trees around your home. Trees provide shade in summer and can reduce home air conditionning needs by 10 to 50 percent. Well maintained trees will also filter out air pollution for as long as 60 years! ** Read your labels! If what you're throwing away is hazardous, dispose of it properly. Just one drop of oil can contaminate up to 25 litres of water. III.

Your involvement and support help Amnesty International continue the fight to bring justice and freedom to countless numbers of people all over the world. Amnesty International's 2001 Annual Report finds that for many people, human rights remain "paper promises," endorsed by governments in rhetoric but neglected or ignored in practice. The report documents evidence of human rights violations perpetrated by governments, opposition groups and others in 149 countries last year. It shows that in 2000 torture was used in 125 of the 149 countries surveyed. In addition, political killings occurred in 61 countries - a 69% increase over the previous year and a return to the highest levels of the decade. It also shows a slight decline in "disappearances" and the detention of prisoners of conscience. Amnesty International also released a list of human rights heroes and scoundrels for the year 2000. Among the human rights heroes are: George Ryan, Governor of Illinois, for instigating a new national debate on capital punishment by declaring a moratorium on the death penalty. Mehrangiz Kar, an Iranian human rights advocate who has fought to gain recognition of women's rights and children's rights. Among the scoundrels are: Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe, for his determination to hold on to power no matter what the cost to human rights and the rule of law. The Texas Board of Pardons and Parole, for operating a flawed capital punishment system, reviewing clemency petitions in secret and voting without due process procedures. Click here to read more about Amnesty International's 2001 Annual Report. Professor Mesfin Wolde-Mariam, aged 72, and Dr Berhanu Nega, President of the Ethiopian Economic Association, both leading human rights defenders, have been released. Professor Wolde-Mariam and Dr Nega were arrested on May 8 and were held incommunicado. According to their families, the two were charged with inciting a riot and forming an illegal clandestine political party. Although they have been released on bail, the charges against them remain. Amnesty International will continue to monitor the situation. Thank you to the thousands of FAST activists who sent emails on this case. Three young men, Luis Manuel HERNANDEZ, Jose Luis CASTELLANOS and Jose Luis de la TORRE, have reportedly been tortured in police custody. They are now in prison awaiting trial and Amnesty International fears that they will suffer further torture. There is also concern that they were forced to confess under torture, and so will face an unfair trial. The three, who are from Venustiano Carranza Municipality, Chiapas state, were reportedly arrested on 17 May by State Judicial Police (Policia Judicial Estatal) and Municipal Police (Policia Municipal), and taken to the Municipal Police detention cen

[CTRL] Questions for Mr. Muelle
-Caveat Lector- The Wall Street Journal June 26, 2001 Questions for Mr. Mueller The Republic has just seen why the Director of the FBI is appointed to a 10-year term. Louis Freeh's era at the bureau had its share of mishaps and errors; no director since J. Edgar Hoover has succeeded in establishing full control of the proud and secretive institution. But Mr. Freeh was farsighted in the world-wide fight against terrorism and courageous in withstanding constant pressure from the Clinton White House and Justice Department on Whitewater, the campaign finance scandal and so on. Whatever else, Mr. Freeh has been a stand-up guy. These qualities came to mind last week as we watched trial balloons floating over Washington with the names of Robert S. Mueller and George Terwilliger as Mr. Freeh's possible successor. These names set us to perusing the books on one of our long-lasting preoccupations, the Bank of Credit & Commerce International. The BCCI scandal was the most important corruption story of the 20th century. Crooked international bankers cast a world-wide web of influence. They bought and sold politicians around the globe, ripped off depositors for some $10 billion, laundered drug money, worked with assorted spooks and trafficked with terrorists. In the U.S., they illegally bought a major Washington bank, First American, and installed Democratic Party icon Clark Clifford as its head. George H.W. Bush headed the CIA during BCCI's early days and was President when its wrongdoing first began to surface. Even George W. Bush bumped up against the outer fringes of the BCCI crowd during his tenure with Harken Energy and in his friendship with Texas entrepreneur James Bath. BCCI holds important lessons for the future. Our dawning century is one of international criminal gangs operating with increasing sophistication in a shadowy world beyond the control of fragmented national authorities. The banking and political systems are particularly vulnerable to this sort of corruption. BCCI is a prototype for this new form of global crime. As FBI Director, Mr. Freeh got a foothold on these problems; his successor will find them a major preoccupation. Both Mr. Terwilliger and Mr. Mueller were senior Justice Department officials when BCCI got away. Mr. Terwilliger was Deputy Attorney General; and Mr. Mueller ran the Criminal Division at Main Justice from 1990 to 1993. When it came to making decisions about investigations and prosecutions in the BCCI affair they were the men at the switches. Only the Attorney General and the President had higher federal authority. Mr. Terwilliger apparently is off the short list because confirmation would be complicated by his legal work for Mr. Bush in the Florida election dispute. This means the presumed front-runner is Mr. Mueller, who took personal charge of the BCCI probe. If he is nominated, a number of questions need to be asked. How did BCCI manage to gain entry into the U.S. banking system and acquire First American? Did the U.S. intelligence community grease the skids for BCCI at critical junctures? Was the Justice Department part of the solution to the BCCI mess, or part of the problem? When Mr. Mueller took over the Criminal Division, critics in Congress and the media were already raising questions about Justice and BCCI. He stepped into this breach, telling the Washington Post in July 1991 that maybe indeed there was an "appearance of, one, foot-dragging; two, perhaps a coverup." He denied the coverup claims, specifically rejecting a Time magazine report that the U.S. government was seeking to obscure its role in the scandal partly because the CIA may have collaborated with the bank's operatives. Perhaps Justice should have been more enthusiastic and aggressive about the case, he told the Post, but "nobody has ever accused me of lacking aggression." Still, the problems with Justice persisted. And the timing of some of Mr. Mueller's moves raised eyebrows. In September 1991, Justice indicted six BCCI figures and a reputed Colombian drug lord on racketeering charges. The indictment was unveiled just minutes after then-Congressman Charles Schumer issued a report sharply critical of Justice Department handling of the case. As Peter Truell and Larry Gurwin noted in their authoritative book, "False Profits: Inside BCCI," the indictment was merely "warmed-over information from an investigation that had ended nearly two years before." Mr. Mueller also engaged in a running series of battles with the Manhattan District Attorney, Robert Morgenthau. According to news reports over the years, Justice prosecutors were instructed not to cooperate with Mr. Morgenthau's office, documents were withheld, and attempts were made to block other federal agencies from cooperating. In July 1992, both Mr. Mueller and Mr. Morgenthau simultaneously but separately indicted Mr. Clifford and his top aide Robert Altman in the BCCI scandal, with Mr. Morgenthau finally winning the right to try the men.
