Democracy Now! has a very interesting look at a piece by Greg Palast of the BBC.

In an explosive new report, investigative journal (`entry_id`,`time`,`title`,`body`,`topic`,`description`,`delicious`) ist Greg Palast charges that President Bush was planning to invade Iraq before the September 11th attacks and was considering two very different plans about what to do with Iraq's oil. The plans reportedly sparked a political fight between neoconservatives and big oil companies. Greg Palast joins us in our firehouse studio and we air his exclusive report, "Secret U.S. Plans For Iraq's Oil" for the first time in this country. [includes rush transcript] President Bush was planning to invade Iraq before the September 11th attacks and was considering two very different plans about what to do with Iraq's oil. The plans sparked a political fight between neoconservatives and big oil companies and may help explain the recent appointments of Paul Wolfowitz to head the World Bank and John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations. That's the explosive charge in an expose by investigative reporter Greg Palast. This exclusive report aired on the BBC last week. This is the first time it is being showed in the United States.

Read the transcript here, or listen to it here. You can also watch the broadcast here. Or download the entire show in MP3 format. This segment starts at 12:50.

Palast's information is pretty interesting, and it does add a new twist to the recent nominations of John Bolton to the UN and Paul Wolfowitz to the World Bank, positions they don't seem suitable for. It seemed at first like a ploy to just piss off the world, but Palast seems to think that it's actually punishment for two Neocons who screwed up by allowing the oil companies to stop the privatization of Iraq's oil, which, according to Palst's sources, was the major economic motive for their rabid pro-war stance.
