But this whole discussion is somewhat academic isn't it? I mean surely
to blazes the city of Chicago must already be involved in international
terrorism? I mean when you consider that the US administration is one
of the worst offenders in that regard, I can't imagine that a city the
size of Chicago can plead innocence on the charge. There must be
military contractors in the area and in the very least the city is
making tax revenues off of thier operations within the municipality
which means the city is already complicit in acts of terror and
agression all over the world! Oh wait - I forgot we don't tax the rich
and powerful - nev'r mind.

I fail to see how he is much of a threat to the US.
Not to mention, there is a Citgo station AT THE PENTAGON! It sells
Biodiesel!
My head hurts.

Aramco is a foreign government-owned company, are your local governments
allowed to buy fuel?
Anyway, whatever, the news report says:
But two months later, despite claims of a looming budget crisis, the
CTA president has no intent or plan to accept the offer, according
to CTA spokesperson Ibis Antongiorgi. She gave no explanation.
If your explanation had any chance of standing up I don't doubt she'd
have used it, but she didn't. People like Weisbrot would surely know it
too. I think you're just grabbing for an excuse.
IMHO, considering the current context in the US of oil interests,
corruption and interfering with foreign governments (and even your own),
your arguments seem somewhat bizarre. In the context of the poor too,
especially after some of Hurricane Katrina's revelations.
But you blamed the victims at the time, didn't you?
Nobody's said the S-word yet (aarghh), LOL!
