Leak Raises Doubts About Cheney's Industry Links
A leaked White House document shows oil executives met Vice-President Dick Cheney's energy taskforce in 2001, which called for more oil and gas drilling and a revived nuclear program, according to the Washington Post.
The administration has denied any collusion between energy companies and the taskforce, but officials from Exxon Mobil, Conoco, Shell and BP America met in the White House with policy officials.
Green groups have accused Mr Cheney, a former boss of energy company Halliburton, of working with other executives to produce recommendations.
