BushWatch: "While Bush is handing fat federal deals to his biggest contributors, to his former aides - and, as always, to the ubiquitous Halliburton - he has suspended regulations that would have paid the countless thousands of displaced natives a living wage to rebuild their communities and their region. Instead, as investigator Jeremy Scahill reports, the Bushist elite are bringing in migrant laborers - legal and illegal - to work, unprotected and ill-paid, under the watchful eye of hired guns from the Blackwater mercenary agency, many of them fresh from the privatized killing fields of Iraq and now under direct federal contract, with shoot-to-kill powers, in the streets of New Orleans.
Bush now has a honey-pot of some $200 billion to dole out to his cronies and his caporegimes."
HalliburtonWatch: "Since the beginning of the Iraq war, Halliburton, the Texas energy giant once headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, has seen its stock price more than triple in value. When the U.S invaded Iraq in March of 2003, Halliburton's stock was selling for $20 per share. The stock price at the close of market activity on Monday was $66.
In the last 12 months, the total number of U.S. service members killed in Iraq almost doubled as Halliburton's stock doubled. Halliburton's stock rose from $33 per share in September 2004 to $66 yesterday while U.S. deaths in Iraq increased from 1,061 to almost 1900."

Arresting Cindy Sheehan won't help the pro-war criminals. The anti-war protests past weekend got huge crowds.
Salon: "The organizers of Saturday's protest claimed as many as 250,000 demonstrators attended; though D.C. police estimates were more conservative, none pegged the crowd at below 100,000."
The pro-war demonstration on Sunday drew less than 400 people.
More here. Pictures. Listen to George Galloway.
In the meantime Bush's fighters for 'freedom and liberty' (pronounced 'freedumb and libbedy') are trading war porn for sex porn on the internet.
