I (and others) looked at his links on a thread a week ago and never got a satisfactory reply. I think he just figures he can get enough people wound up by saying those things figuring few will actually followup on his links and see that they are much ado about nothing.

I agree that, aside from a quick and dirty summary of the Afghan oil conspiracy theories and their transmission, the article doesn't contain much information, and does not provide the "debunking" suggested by the poster's parenthetical addition to the title. But, as I have said, I actually like the idea that such schemes (even if not the particular ones the lefty conspiratorialists are hyping) are in the works. IMHO the greatest threat to world civilization is poverty (and all that stems from it). If a bunch of big, powerful governments and big, powerful corporations are conspiring to build productive heavy infrastructure in one of the poorest regions on earth, I have to ask, how is that a bad thing? Are you satisfied with current conditions in this region?

This was not even a decent attempt to fool us. The question is why? This isn't Smirking Chimp and it ain't so just because Chomp-sky says it is.
