This is interesting.. Do a search on any un-common combination of words in that e-mail, and you get about a billion sites repeating it, lamenting the liberal media and it's lack of accurate coverage. There are some people who have actually taken the time to look through this information and surprise surprise, it's not entirely accurate. When I read it, my suspicions were raised when it said that "* The country had its first 2 billion barrel export of oil in August."
That's quite a feat, considering that it was BIG NEWS when OPEC decided to cut product by a mere 1 million barrels a day. With a flush of 2 BILLION barrels in a month into the world market, an announcement by OPEC cutting daily production by 1 million, or about 30 million a month, would hardly be news.

A week or so ago when it was reported that attacks had been made/attempted in the port where oil is exported from Iraq...it was also reported that Iraq has been exporting about 1 1/2 million barrels per month...and the question was posed if they attacks had done any damage that would reduce the amount exported.
