It is somehow appropriate that this is now just a footnote to the disaster in Iraq that now stretches back over 20 years.
The really important information, like legal contracts, is always in the small print and the footnotes. This is after all what the invasion was really all about.
Shameful!

Reporters face violence as Iraq cracks down on media dissent
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/nov/05/iraq-government-warn-media
The 2 stories between them have half the page not counting the advert.
Not much detail to tell us just what a great deal it is for Iraq though.

on November 6, 2009, 4:42 pm, in reply to "Re: And Iraq's biggest oil field goes to..."Well, that is a matter of perspective.
Considering the fact that the top "exclusive" story is confined to deal with the "Iranian threat" and that page 4-5 are dealing with the technical question whether the war in Afghanistan "is winnable or worth so many British deaths" I regard this tiny story as buried.
Why not having an exclusive story on the fears that there are Israeli "plans to make military action aimed at setting back the Iranian programme by force (nice euphemism btw) with incalculable consequences for the Middle East" (Guardian page 2) and in order to uphold US-Israeli hegemony in the region
(within such a story-line the context of controlling Middle Eastern Oil would fit quite well)?
But let's see what the Guardian reports tomorrow...
