"The Venezuelan Government was given no notice of the case and was not afforded any opportunity to be represented at the hearing."

Now that is dirty pool. See my analysis of this situation at

...which I think is related to Donald Rumsfeld's op-ed in the Washington Post, of Dec 1,2007 (just after Exxon Mobil's initial move against Venezuela), and is stage one (destabilization of Venezuela) as prep for Oil War II--regaining global corporate predator control of all of the Andes oil fields (in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador and Argentina--all now with leftist, social justice governments).

Thanks for the info. I remember now when Exxon Mobil struck, a few weeks ago--running into "first world" courts for a quick freezing of $12 billion in Venezuela's assets. I didn't think of it at the time. Why wasn't Venezuela present? Because these warmongering shits didn't tell them about it! Jeez.
