COLUMN: Conspiracy claims irrational
May 2Oil company executives are testifying for a Senate subcommittee this week answering allegations that price fixing is to blame for recent increases in the price of gasoline. Accusations of this sort are not new. There were charges of price gouging during the 2000 election that were very quietly dismissed after investigation. However, that these hearings are even going on is representative of an interesting and disconcerting group of people in the American political discourse that, for a lack of a better term, I will call conspiracists.
