I thought it was about private contractors in general and the US military's dependance on them.

i watched it.
cracking good, except when it wandered into gratuitous snuff, and when they casually implied that dick cheney pushed halliburton to fill his coffers.

B+

(also watched last 1/2 of NOVA re: china raping their land; also good)

Well they had to have something about Cheney and Haliburton or else it wouldn't be PBS.

However, the failed to point out how much it would cost the US gov if the military was built up to the number of troops needed to relpace the contractors in theater. Those figures would be staggering I'm sure.

There's something more to that whole thing that whats being told. Someone needs to take a deeper look into Hitlerburton.

Or just wait to see if Cheney's name is on the list of presidential pardons when dubbya leaves office. Then we'll know

Most of the people don't want to know what their government is doing. They are sheep who just want to keep on keepin on in their quest for bright shiny objects.

It takes a revolution.
