Last week, Gordon Brown called on the EU and G8 to break Opec as the House of Representatives passed a bill which would allow the oil cartel to be subjected to US antitrust laws.
The White House, unsurprisingly, opposed the bill.

ok, i’m no lawyer and i am sure there is a perfectly reasonable legal explanation….but how do you hold a group of oil producing countries subject to u.s. antitrust laws???
i have a little thought for d.c.: spend more time worrying about the fact that you are spending yourself into economic insolvency in a war you shouldn’t be fighting and spend less time worrying about how much saudi and kuwait are charging you for a barrel of oil. they wouldn’t be charging that much if you weren’t buying!
[maybe...for their next trick...the u.s. can figure out a way to sue china for driving up demand. just a thought, in case the house of representatives isn't busy this afternoon.]
