When Dick Cheney privately meets with Saudi Oil....

Can we consider that to be treason in the future? Basically he's telling a foreign company how to maximize profits out of the US. "Hey guys, you can cash in while we're still in office but you'll have to start dropping prices about six months before the election." I would bet a million dollars that sentence came out of Dick Cheney's mouth.

RIYADH (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney and Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah discussed the global energy market and had a lot of "commonality" in their assessment of the oil market after prices reached record highs, a senior U.S. official said on Saturday.

"There was I think a lot of commonality in their assessment about the structural problems confronted by the global energy market now and some discussion of probably the way forward, how we work together to try to stabilize the market, what can be done, and what could be done shorter term," the U.S. official told reporters traveling with Cheney.

The source said Cheney and King Abdullah also talked about what needed to be done "over the medium to longer term".
