Oil Companies Post Record Profits: Oil Barons Keep Screwing the Public

Various oil companies are reporting record oil profits in the third quarter of 2005.

This, in spite of "hundreds" of oil platforms "destroyed" by the hurricanes along the Gulf Coast in the third quarter.

This, in spite of refineries being "damaged" or "destroyed" by the same hurricanes in the third quarter.

This, in spite of "increased cost of production" in the third quarter.

This, in spite of the cost of a barrel of oil in the third quarter, supposedly imposed by OPEC.

Someone needs to go to jail. This is gouging!
