I was flipping channels yesterday and landed on Worldlink-TV- they were rebroadcasting news shows from several middle eastern countries. The graphic on Iran TV is "War For Oil". The anchor was a woman covered from head to toe, except for her face. Much of the perspective about events taking place in Iraq was contradictory to that of the US media. (Worldlink is showing "Mosaic", selections of middle east news daily at 3:30 & 6:30 EST). >From mainstream news: Haliburton, the oil conglomerate Dick Cheney headed until he was forced to divest when he became Vice President, has been awarded the multimillion $ contracts to rebuild Iraq's oil fields. Haliburton's contract may be worth as much as $1bil. Cheney still recieves a yearly wage from Haliburton, somewhere between $100k and $1mil. >From alternate news (uncomfirmed at this point): Elizabeth Cheney, gay daughter of the VP, is on her way from Jordan to Iraq to become a human shield.
