    You are correct. Oil is being stolen every day. When I was there, we saw individuals along the pipeline digging catch basins and then puncturing the lines to collect the oil. I am certain that there are other much more elaborate schemes to syphon off oil revenue. It is the oil money that is fueling the insurgency and it is oil money that is giving legitmacy to the criminal based insurgency. They hire, they kill and they control the battlespace with fear and money.
