The Unauthorized Biography of Dick Cheney - on CBC Fifth Estate
Edited on Wed Oct-06-04 09:40 PM by Canadian_moderate
I just watched this brilliant piece of investigative journalism on the CBC's The Fifth Estate about Dick Cheney and Halliburton. I wish all Americans had access to CBC to see what kind of snake this man is.

I'm not sure if it will available to American subscribers on Newsworld International, but here's the link...

I'm sure the website will not do it justice. Good luck ousting this evil administration.

Go Kerry/Edwards!

1. The web site has lots of info.
It's scary how much power this evil man has accumulated.

Now I understand very clearly why so many investagations involving him have gone nowhere. The quote that sticks in my mind: "If you don't tell Cheney what he wants to hear, you will be out of a job."

2. Everyone here should make an effort to see this
It really was brilliant. Amazing interviews with Sen. Lautenburg, Joseph Wilson, an ex-military/CIA operative, and many others. It's as well done and revealing a piece of journalism I've seen on this stinking administration. Truly chilling. I'm so glad I get CBC here in Vermont. It's invaluble. Try and get a copy of this show! Bravo and thanks Fifth Estate.

3. I'm glad you had the chance to see it
It's unbelievable how one man can manipulate a democratic nation of almost 300 million in this day and age.

I know you guys are onside, but are most Americans not informed about this man's past? Why are there not more Americans demanding answers?

4. That Fifth Estate doc could end the Bush/Cheney election hopes
The DNC oughtta find a way to get it on network TV.

5. please spread the word (link to site) by internet
Maybe that will help somewhat.

I just felt that The Fifth Estate laid out a perfect case to oust this administration.

This evil man is the brains behind the Bush #43 administration.

6. Will This Be On NewsWorld International?
I know they run a lot of CBC stuff and it's on a lot of cable and satellite systems. Sounds like something worth certain out.

7. It's got some freepers hot and bothered.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1237510/posts

I've been living here for a while (in Toronto), and I'm starting to think that there must be something in the water (fortunately I drink bottled).

Everyone here complains about Bush and Cheney, saying they're setting the world on fire, CREATING terrorists instead of defeating them (go figure), and manipulating the American public with their control of the "RIGHT WING" media.

Yes, folks, that's right. The Canadians think our MMM is RIGHT WING.

That's how left they are.

And it only gets worse. They pride themselves on their free health care for all and their peacemaking foreign policy and look down on us like the thirty million democrats that they are.

It's disgusting. We need to send the CBC a message. I've already gone to their site and sent about a dozen letters insisting that they KEEP THEIR NOSES OUT OF OUR BUSINESS -- OR ELSE!!

9. Quicktime video & mp3 online here
Not really anything new to those who've been paying attention, but they put it together quite nicely, imho.

111 M quicktime video

10 M mp3 for the bandwidth challenged.
