Interesting report on Cheney - rebroadcast last night, originally on Oct. 6, 2004. Too bad there's no streaming video, but the text summarizes things pretty well.

Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski worked at the Pentagon along side the 'Office of Special Plans' a group that worked with Cheney on intelligence matters.

"When I heard those (President Bush's) speeches I recognized many of the anecdotes. Having seen the intelligence I knew this was a manipulation of the information. It was cherry picked information, out of context information.

It bothered me a great deal because I saw it to be conscious manipulation. Not an oversight but consciously done."

"If you don't tell Dick Cheney what he wants to hear, you're out of a job."

Makes me shake my head, wondering about the 53% of Americans...

And is it significant that a lot of the "blue" states are withing broadcast reach of the CBC? :)
