The article reports that some White House officials and others advising the government have grown skeptical about a plan to significantly increase Saudi Arabia's oil production capacity. As oil prices have climbed over the last few years, the administration of U.S. Present George W. Bush has looked to Saudi Arabia to pump extra oil. Doubts about Saudi Arabia's assurances of how much it can expand capacity have been raised in a secret intelligence report and in a separate analysis by a leading government oil advisor.
