I see nothing intrinsically wrong with our VP meeting with any group of industry Executives, even those from the massive, profit-gouging oil behemoths. But why deny that the meeting occurred (and note that this was before our Iraq invasion and war) - and why go to some lengths to deny environmentalists and others access to the meeting and the records afterwards? I am not a consipracy theory buff, but hmmmm ....... the plot thickens, no?
