Democracy NOW! - DN! - As tens of thousands of gallons of oil continue to spew into the Gulf of Mexico from the BP oil spill we continue our series on BP. Sixty years ago, BP was called the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. We look at the story of the companys role in the 1953 CIA coup against Irans popular progressive Prime Minister Mohamed Mossadegh.

on a lighter note, take a look at this comical read:
"It just seems like a bad time for any firm with the word "British" in its title. We know all too well the various setbacks experienced by the oil giant once known as British Petroleum; now British Airways has drawn much unwelcome attention to itself with a
photo touting its new mobile-boarding pass system as it appears to
expedite the air travel of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden,
the world's most wanted man."
