From: The Handbook of Texas, Online: Before the Gulf War in 1991, Wyatt attempted to trade Coastal's refining and marketing assets for regular supplies of crude oil from Iraq. With Coastal director and former Texas governor John B. Connally,qv Wyatt met with Saddam Hussein and flew twenty-one hostages out of Baghdad. Wyatt was later critical of Operation Desert Storm and was investigated for possible violation of the United States trade embargo.114 posted on 10/10/2004 8:22:39 AM PDT by fightu4it
Oh boy. This reminds me of Ambassador Joe Wilson's self promotion on how HE was the guy who got hostages out of Iraq during the the first Gulf War.

Al Gore would object strenuously to Wilson's claim, since it was actually Al Gore who invented hostage negotiation.
