6. Cairn has applied for permission to explore for oil in Nepal

I don't think they've received it yet. They operate a lot of wells in India. There is a Houston based company, Texana, which has been looking since 1998, I believe. I don't know if they have any connections to Bush.

The former King was killed by his son, supposedly. Most people I've talked to in Nepal believe the new crown prince (his nephew) was behind it. I really can't buy the CIA being involved - I've never seen or heard a plausible scenario for that (and I've been there twice since the regicide). It just seems like a straight ahead palace coup.

If another country was involved, I would bet more on India than the US.
