New Books Expose Dicking of American Taxpayers

While the obscenity-laden tirade of Dick Cheney against Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy has gained a good deal of media attention, such focus distracts the public from the real story at hand. Ultimately, who really cares if the Vice President is prone to launch an f-bomb when agitated? The bigger issue here and the one that never gets enough attention from the mainstream press is Cheney's ongoing ties with Halliburton, the Texas-based oil services conglomerate that has been given billion-dollar contracts to rebuild Iraq. To really understand how this relationship works and how it negatively impacts American taxpayers, we recommend two new books: "The Halliburton Agenda: The Politics of Oil and Money" by Dan Briody and "Cronies: Oil, the Bushes, and the Rise of Texas, America's Superstate" by Robert Bryce.
