This post (from VCrisis) might be of interest to you two. I am always interested in your posts on the oil situation, btw. In any case, if you click on the link in this post and read the whole article, it is mentioned that Chavez is thinking of selling Citgo because it has contracts (presumably with us) that are unfavorable to VZ.

Well, for what it is worth, I think that Chavez is in the middle of a crack up. I don't know what that means in the long term as far as how that impacts our supplies, but I doubt that he last much more than a few years.
