...Your reporting raised serious questions about why the U.S. went to war in Iraq. Vice President Dick Cheney was an early and staunch advocate for the invasion. Then Halliburton, his former company, was given a huge no-bid contract to rebuild Iraq and run the oil fields. No wonder most of the world is appalled by what we are doing there. No wonder 50% of Americans are disgusted and angry with what George W. Bush has done to Iraq. The only wonder is why the other 50% think he is doing O.K. D. Alan Caccia Honokaa...
...regime at Deva tipped over into exploitation and abuse of his athletes. Belu dismisses the charges by saying that training is "200% voluntary" and that he keeps "the door open for anyone who wants to leave." And even Comaneci's iconic status was challenged in a recent book by Dick Pound, a former vice president of the International Olympic Committee, who attributed her high score in Montreal to Soviet judges putting in the fix for Bloc athletes. Despite the troubles, Romania placed second in team finals at the 2003 world championships. In what was her first-ever big international contest...
...Vulcans-a campaign 2000 nickname for George W. Bush's hawkish national security team-went Krakatoa last week. Dick Cheney erupted on the Senate floor, deploying the F word against Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy, who had been belaboring the Vice President over the no-bid deals that Cheney's old company, Halliburton, had scored in Iraq. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz suffered a meltdown in a House Armed Services Committee hearing, blasting the press for "sitting in Baghdad" and "printing rumors." (He later apologized.) And the White House was forced to acknowledge that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had approved...
...early as Sept. 16, 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney, in his first interview after the 9/11 attacks, said, "It's going to be vital for us to use any means at our disposal, basically, to achieve our objective." His declaration met little resistance from a public reeling from 9/11 and willing to support measures needed to prevent another attack. Behind the scenes, government lawyers debated the meaning of "any means at our disposal." Even before the U.S. went into Afghanistan in October 2001, State Department officials and Pentagon military lawyers were incensed that political appointees wanted to exempt captured Taliban...
Never mind the fact that Dick Cheney’s hands-on role in developing the prewar intelligence picture of Iraq is, by now, a matter of public record - the CIA has asked that the declassified version of a highly critical Senate Intelligence Committee report to redact references to the Vice President. The classified version of the document does not use names, referring to actors by their title instead. But the Agency sought to have even references to titles be excised on national security grounds...
