I can hardly wait to see it. I hope HBO will show it. But I guess that is wanting too much, huh?</p> <p>Each day there is something else that gets my blood boiling about this pathetic, profit driven adminstration. If there is a god then there is a special place in hell reserved for each and everyone of them.</p> Jane, thanks for the heads up on this film. I can hardly wait to see it. I hope HBO will show it.

The idea of ‘creative destruction’ in Iraq–destruction that created profit–has yet to be visualized for the American public. This film should get the ball rolling.</p> I’m looking forwad to this film as well.

Hadn’t realized that Cheney had so much to do with it, but I’m not surprised.

Cheney got the ball rolling working in the Reagan administration and continued shaping it as CEO of Halliburton. After seeing these three pieces, you won’t be able to sleep at night, knowing what these people have done to this nation.</p> Frontline (PBS) also has an excellent piece titled, “PRIVATE WARRIORS” that covers the privatization of military logistics.

I have to agree with McGee at 213. RFK Jr. was a breath of fresh air in that interview. It was relief to hear him finish his point. Although Charlie did try to cut him off here and there.

Too bad it was (most likely) not seen by too many people.
