...clear the difficulty we have had in training Iraqi security forces. He has expressed concern about the power that ethnic militias have overthose forces. He has expressed dismay about the corruption rampant in the new democratic Iraq. He has admitted that large reconstruction contracts given to U.S. corporations like Halliburton have been a failure. He has repeatedly asserted that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that the intelligence that caused him to attack Iraq was wrong. We applaud the President for finally acknowledging those mistakes. Given the Administration's sad record of incompetence in planning and executing...
...Scooter” Libby. Referring to September 11 as Bush’s “little black dress”—since according to Franken, it works for almost any occasion—he called on liberals to pursue prosecutions for war profiteering against companies like Halliburton. He added that liberals had cornered the market on moral issues like education and poverty, but the Republican Party had hijacked the message. When asked if he would run for public office, Franken said he was concentrating on his radio show for the time being. Production for his show...
...WONDERING IF YOU'RE SURPRISED AT HOW PEOPLE HAVE SINGLED OUT HALLIBURTON. I think that public life has become a little more confrontational than it used to be, but I'm not entirely surprised.

Director Michael Bay's new movie posits a secretive biotech operation offering rich people the opportunity to have their very own, disease-free clones. In other words, for $5 million you can have a more or less living insurance policy. Need a kidney transplant? You got it, helicoptered right to the operating room...
...Iraqis with basic health-care essentials. After all, the U.S. Congress just gave the Bush Administration an added $82 billion to spend on the war. So now even more U.S. taxpayer money will go to Iraq reconstruction efforts, and some of it will disappear in the process. Companies like Halliburton will profit and wounded Iraqi citizens struggle to survive as overwhelmed Iraqi doctors and nurses fight to save them with outdated or inadequate medical equipment. Good luck winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi populace with such underfunded and mismanaged efforts. Eric J. Morrow North Cedar City, Utah...
