Good question

Seemingly puzzled, Canadian media is wondering outloud exactly what Chretien is mediating.
While neither Chretien, the Kremlin nor Yukos have explained exactly what role he is playing in the dispute, Group Menatep, which owns about 45 per cent of Yukos, said yesterday that it welcomed Chretien's efforts to 'help resolve the tax and other legal issues' confronting the oil company and its executives.

Either they are not good at connecting the dots or else their Wall St. Journal subscription ran out. If they can't see the obvious connection to the Iraq Oil-for-food UN scam, billions of dollars in oil, the dozens of Russian oil companies, French banks, French Elf oil and Chretien, then they don't deserve to be called journalists.
