Has anyone done a serious investigation into the Clinton administration's overt support of individual US companies trying to tie-up oil deals with a number of Central Asian countries, in the immediate years after the breakup of the Soviet Union?
I've heard it said that the Clinton administration actually went out of it's way to help certain US oil companies, at the expense of others, complete big-money deals in places like Uzbekistan and Kazikhstan...and that (and this is the kicker), some of the administration officials involved in the deals (senior ones) had shares in the oil companies they were acting on behalf of.
