Dirty Dick and his Dirty Deeds - CBC Documentary
I just watched this brilliant piece of investigative journalism on the CBC's The Fifth Estate about Dick Cheney and Halliburton. It was called The Unauthorized Biography of Dick Cheney by CBC's the fifth estate. 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. Time to put this dirty dick away!

Go Kerry/Edwards!

3. Just finished watching it, too..
Brilliant stuff; since I've moved up here from the US I'm incredibly impressed by "The Fifth Estate". Fantastic show.

4. I wish our media were like yours
Hi. Thanks for the link re Cheney. I have noticed (who wouldn't?) how on-target Canadian news is-- the CBC tells it like it is. How refreshing not to watch (or read) dishonest, sycophantic "news" stories!!

7. Great show!
Unfortunately CBC is only available to those of us in the "border states" and most Americans won't get the opportunity to see it.

Not much new information in there for me, personally, but it would be a great resource for someone whose only knowledge of Cheney is what the mediawhores tell them. Didn't have a blank video tape ready to record this thing, but hopefully it will get circulated around the US through one means or another.

God bless the CBC! Don't ever let them take it away from you!
