Gasex 2000 is an error. The conference is Gasex 2002. I went to their web site, but speakers listed are all from energy companies, mostly Asian, although one American from Shell Gas will be speaking. Clinton is not listed as a speaker. So, what's up with him being there?

Still digging...

My gut feeling was this is related to Marc Rich somehow, very odd to take off of a U.S. Trade delegation in a private jet for an oil conference.

Marc Rich is a good point.

The Gasex conference is devoting a lot of their time to the Kyoto accord. Also there are all sorts of opportunities to meet and greet.

Maybe he is just hanging around, hoping some spare change will fall his way. Maybe he is trying to get money for the dems.

I am mystified.

Or politicking to be head of the UN?

There has got to be a nefarious reason behind this..maybe I will do some Googling myself!

I will look some more tomorrow. I am hampered that there are few familiar names in this article.

You are right, he's up to no good. That is a given. The only question is whether it is simply personal greed and lust or something dangerous to us all.
