06/16/2004: "Iraqi Oil Production Halved"

I saw at Command Post last night an AP repost that "Authorities curbed oil exports through the Persian Gulf by half - from an average of 1.85 million barrels per day to more than 800,000 barrels - after saboteurs blasted the two pipelines on the Faw peninsula of southern Iraq."

I'm curious why we haven't heard more about this. Is this not the bad news the liberal media likes to parrot? Or is this evidence of terrorist activity they like to ignore?

Anyway, there were a couple of interesting suggestions in the comments. dwc suggested we use landmines. Jeff B suggested we hire U.S. hunters to guard the pipeline.
