New documents obtained by a conservative watchdog group suggest that the US Army Corp of Engineers may have publicly lied regarding the involvement of the Vice President's office in awarding a 2003 multi-billion dollar, no-bid contract to Kellogg Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton, RAW STORY has learned.
RAW STORY has obtained a copy of the emails, which were acquired by the government watchdog group Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act.
The newly released emails show the Army Corps attempting to deflect attention from Cheney's office by distributing talking points that would mask Cheney's purported role. The Corps could not immediately be reached for comment.
Among the 100 pages of newly-obtained documents is an 2003 email in which Army Corps official Carol Sanders writes, "Mr. Robert Andersen, Chief Counsel, USACE, participated in a 60 Minutes interview today in New York regarding the sole source award of the oil response contract to Kellogg, Brown and Root... [Andersen] was able to make many of the points we had planned."
Sanders subsequently provided sound bites from the interview, including, "There was no contact whatsoever (with the VP office)."

peace :)
I have read large parts of the Quran, and I think, like the bible, is a beautifully written book, with many important lessons. But like Christianity, I think a lot of people have miss used the lessons, and teaching, for there own needs, and desires. The extremists of both religions, has made it hard for me to ever considering either, I do respect both religions, and the true followers, but they are not for me, I can't be a part of any religion that sponsers, condones, or gives any means to extremists in any way shape or form. I don't just mean terrorists, I refere more to any member of either of these religions that use there beliefs to hate, or discriminate, any other being. The christian who hates the person with no religion, or hates the aborstionist, or hates the jew, or hates the what ever, simple because they don't believe the exact thing they do. Or the Islamic, who hate Americans indiscimanetly, believeing there all christians, and evil, lumping us all together, yet both religions speak of loving people no matter what, turning the other cheek, ect, ect. I enjoyed looking at the link, but I will stay with Buddhism for the time being. Thanks.
