#1 I just spent a little time in Malaysia, met a Rolls Royce engineer at a bar who works the big turbines on various oil rigs. He was saying that it's pretty hairy on the Nigerian rigs, as many of the workers were snippered from the platforms, so morale/retention a problem. I think we should secure Afhanistan and concentrate on The Caspian pipeline routes.

#2 The irony was that the Nigerian Government was offering " written safety guarantees", which didn't do much to reassure the platform workers. Not surprising, since these are the same guys that come up with the email scams.

#3 snippered? Does that mean kidnapped, or pink-slipped, Ebbolet Ebbans7895, or that they have a tendency to take up equipment-free flying?
