    Here’s what we know so far about Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction: of the 600 or so sites identified by United States intelligence and Iraqi officials as places where the country biological weapons may be hidden, about 100 of these sites have been searched over the past six weeks and not a single spec of anthrax or other WMD has been uncovered.
    Two skeletal trailers that may have been used to develop anthrax or botulism, scrubbed from top to bottom when it was (…)

    During Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate, Dick Cheney said defended his tenure as Halliburton’s CEO when Sen. John Edwards rightfully called into question Halliburton’s dealings with rogue nations, such as Iran, while Cheney was CEO and the fact that Halliburton paid a fine for an accounting scandal that took place under Cheney’s watch.

    It’s obvious that no mainstream news reporter has the gumption to seriously question Vice President Dick Cheney’s ethics when he was chief executive of Halliburton, the oil-field services company that is currently embroiled in a scandal with the Pentagon due to its questionable accounting practices related to its work in war-torn Iraq.

    It’s official. I’m a conspiracy theorist.
    I’m probably one of thousands-maybe tens of thousands-who believe President George W. Bush will do anything to retain control of the White House. It’s not safe to have a healthy dose of skepticism like this these days. But this has to be said. I don’t believe the country is going to be attacked by al-Qaeda anytime soon. I don’t care how specific the so-called threat is. I don’t care how many targets have been identified. I don’t (…)
