OIL ON MY MIND, or HOW CHENEY PLANS TO MAKE HIS BILLIONS
Hi MSI,
I seem to have hit some sort of a jackpot of scintillating reporting this afternoon. None of it making the Bush team look like anything other than self-dealing liars.
Here's a sampler:
Cheney engaged in dubious accounting tricks, ala Enron, while he was CEO at Halliburton, hiding costs from the public for over a year:

On the Afghan front, I did not know until this afternoon that the country's interim "leader", Hamid Karzai, is a former employee of Unocal, and that the military bases we've established in the region precisely line up with the previously planned pipelines from the 'Stans to the Indian Ocean:

There was abundant warning of imminent attack in the weeks prior to Sept. 11:

Mossad tried to warn US:

Even a staid publication like Business Week is calling the Bush team "Orwellian":
Three favorite ways to avoid having to confront a serious issue are truly Orwellian: Deny a charge that was never actually made, accuse your critics of partisanship or even disloyalty, and change the subject. These days, the spin machine is working overtime.

I'm beginning to believe the Bush team is their own worst enemy. They are digging themselves into a deep hole, from which they'll never be able to extract themselves with a shred of belief among most Americans as to their integrity, honesty or true patriotic intent.
