Representatives Henry Waxman and Dennis Kucinich have asked Hunt Oil, a Texas company whose CEO has close ties to President Bush, to turn over all Iraq-related communication with the U.S. government. Huntâs recent oil deal with the Kurds (which al-Maliki’s oil minister has called âillegalâ) has raised suspicion in Washington about whether Hunt acted on inside information. Kucinich is also concerned that the presidentâs friend, Ray Hunt, “may have undermined; U.S. national policy of working toward the passage of an oil revenue sharing plan.” (Dallas Morning News)
