Should Congress investigate the CIA?

BY ED FELIEN

Yes, investigate the CIA.  Yes, investigate torture and the abdication of the Constitution. But why are we not investigating the war profiteering of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney?  The Bush family owns Halliburton.  Dick Cheney was their front man.  He was their front man when he was Secretary of Defense for George H.

W. Bush, front man when he merged the Bush’s Dresser Industries with Halliburton in a stock swap that gave the Bush family control, and front man for George W. Bush during and after his presidency.  The business of Halliburton is war contracts and oil.  Afghanistan gave them no-bid war contracts, and Iraq gave them, with the Saudis, monopoly control of oil.  And George W. Bush got a big kick out of people thinking he was so dumb.  He laughed all the way to his Swiss bank account.

And why isn’t anyone interested in where all the opium and heroin went from Afghanistan?  Bush W. and the CIA made a great deal with the Opium Warlords to take over Afghanistan.  Opium production shot from 0 percent of the world supply to 93 percent.  Karzai’s brother made out in that one.  Is it possible that Bush W. didn’t cut himself in?  All that tilting toward a naval war with Iran.  Is it possible that war hysteria had something to do with smugglers running opium past Iran to safe ports in Iraq?

And remember the gas spike up to $4 a gallon just before Halliburton auctioned off shares in the oil leases in Iraq.  Is it possible that squeezing the market was one of the things Bush W. was whispering in the Saudi prince’s ear while he was holding his hand? Aren’t any of these things worth investigating?
