Yep. The big oil company, Exxon, is trying to have journalists locked up by Homeland Security. Their crime? They took pictures at a virtual prison camp for Katrina refugees that happened to be near a big refinery. Taking pictures of the refinery may or may not be illegal (who really knows nowadays?) because it's a piece of critical infrastructure. A piece of critical infrastructure that can be viewed in minute detail with google maps.

Damn close, anyway.
Meh, Standard Oil would've just killed them and bribed Congress to sell off the Teapot Dome at the same time...Exxon's a bunch of n00bs when it comes to big-business tactics.
Katrina refugees in a prison camp? An article by Larry Flynt? The guy who prayed for the death of a TV host? (I know O'Reilly's a dumbass but...) I'd like to see this story in the AP before I jump onboard the believe wagon.

Seriously. It's fucking HUSTLER, not the best source for news.

You'd be surprised at how many political articles are published in Hustler, and that's not counting the "Asshole of the month" column, which points out the hypocrisy and corruption of Politicians and other famous figures in society in every single issue. Hustler is a great magazine even if you just read the articles.
