- What an idiot. First of all America''s addiction to oil is their problem. Is she blaming Saudi? "Bush wants us to be less dependant?" Years ago he rallied about Americans should be able to drive any vehicle they want. SUV.
If Suadi takes advantage of a market... good for them.
Secondly, shouldn''t she be up in Canada. Canada sells more oil to the US than anyone else in the world.

- Seldom have I seen Leslie give such an disrespectful interview. And all that to be in the spotlight for a current affairs item, oil. Her continued interruptions of the interviewee, and lack of respect of the Kingdom''s culture, only show that the woman should not be in the CBS lineup. All other reporters never treated any minister of a foreign country like that before.
Too bad there is no impeachment procedure for her to oust her out of journalism. - Reply to this comment

- This is one of the worst interviews I''''ve seen in a while. Stop imposing you biased ideas on American people. I love my "gas guzzling" nation, and wouldn''''t trade it for anything!

Yes! Guzzle! Guzzle all you want! Just make sure you''re guzzling a fuel that''s made in America, keeps our money in America, and creates American jobs. I have a V-10 twin turbo diesel car that goes 180 mph and runs on biodiesel made right here in Oregon. - Reply to this comment

- The Saudis make me sick....I have a 2000 Honda Insight that gets 60mpg and I will purchase a plug in electric vehicle or some other alternative form of energy when it is financially feasible. The Saudis ARE NOT our friends. The USA automobile companies ARE NOT our friends. THE USA oil companies ARE NOT our friends. It is time for Americans to change our destiny with regards to vehicles !!!

- That''s funny. I''ve driven my VW Touareg 74000 miles in the last year and a half on biodiesel. The US government is investing heavily in algae biodiesel. 100 years ago, the liquid fuel of choice was whale oil. It''s time for another shift.

- Lesley, as much as i like 60 minutes for the last 20 some years i could not believe you asked what drove up the price of oil. Simple and short and anyone with an iq of more than 15 knows this is ONLY due to futures buying and short sell. When the whole market went to hell they just didnt know how much they would loose and backed down.
Something for you to really think about ! How in the hell can supply and demand raise and lower oil/gas prices weekly/daily. Lets get back to real reporting.
