    I have long intended to write and ask for more intense scrutiny of the speculators and poor oversight that I believe is the main cause of our present gasoline price crisis.
    However, this mornings soft ball interview of Mr. Stumpf by Kai Rysdall was infuriating. Will your show ever hold these profiteers accountable? I am losing respect for your show and no longer think of you as a trustworthy source of news. Susan Kaefer
