Summary: Ted Rall and other anti-war people told us that Afghanistan was "targetted" by the administration before 9/11 because they wanted an oil pipeline through it. They appeared to have a point when it turned out that President Karzai had dome some work for Unocal.

Turns out that Unocal hasn't wanted it since 1998 and there are no plans for a pipeline, nor even any demand for one.
