A week before "it" hit, the intelligence and strategy-challenged and effectively-corrupt policy that placed effective control of the SPR's seven-hundred million barrel reserve in interest-conflicted hands, that place their owners' advantage ahead of the nation's most-advantageous strategic employment of its reserve -- and caused the post-storm price of crude to be around 20% ahead of where it aught be -- was the wrong policy.
