Why I recommend this — 3 years ago
-Halliburton did not get rich by fleecing the US government with fraudulent contracts in Iraq because a) it’s not rich (profits are low), and b) all people who know what they’re talking about agree that it’s one of the few companies that can do the job, and c) there is no evidence that Dick Cheney was instrumental in getting them the contracts, and d) the contracts were no-bid because of the need for secrecy about an impending war, and e) Halliburton’s major wrongdoing happened … in 1992!
-Racial profiling is not only politically incorrect, it’s also a really bad idea because a) terrorists will just recruit people who don’t fit the profile – like female Filipinos or the likes of John Walker Lindh, and b) the purpose of profiling would be to narrow down the list of suspects to investigate but racial profiling doesn’t do this because race is too broad of a category and is not associated enough with potential wrongdoers (i.e. most Muslims in America were born in America)
-Osama bin Laden was not trained by the CIA (he’s hated America all along) and he’s not on dialysis (that’s just a rumor – if he had been, he’d have died by now) – TAKE THAT Michael Moore!
