AlterNet: War on Iraq: Oil for Sale: Iraq Study Group Recommends Privatization

The Report also states that its suggestions should be implemented as a whole, not piecemeal (i.e. no consideration of troop w/drawl before oil is clearly available to multinationals):

AlterNet: War on Iraq: Oil for Sale: Iraq Study Group Recommends Privatization: "In its heavily anticipated report released on Wednesday, the Iraq Study Group made at least four truly radical proposals.

The report calls for the United States to assist in privatizing Iraq's national oil industry, opening Iraq to private foreign oil and energy companies, providing direct technical assistance for the 'drafting' of a new national oil law for Iraq, and assuring that all of Iraq's oil revenues accrue to the central government."
