NO BLOOD FOR OIL ?
Instapundit links to an article on the misdoings of the French oil giant TotalFinaElf in Africa. This is the company that was also currying favor with Saddam and had signed "precontracts " to gain concessions in the Iraqi oil fields at Majnoon and Nahar Umar despite UN sanctions. It seems that in it's Elf Acquitaine incarnation ( the corporation has gone through a number of buy-outs,reorganizations and changes of name) it was controlled by French intelligence.
