"'Uncovered' goes global, wins Alternet's Truth to Power Award," headlines a March 9 post at Leftoid blog Jim Gilliam: Standing up for truth amidst a culture of lies, that bubbled up in a Google search of "Mike Dixon John Kerry":
"Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War," Robert Greenwald's bold documentary unmasking Bush administration lies, took top Altie honors for the Truth To Power Award . . .
As much as people loved "Uncovered," many also marveled at the unique distribution methods the Greenwald team used to bring their indie doc to a wide audience. "Important not only for its content, which history will confirm and current events already are, but for the [MoveOn.org] 'underground' house party distribution method," Mike Dixon wrote.
A George Soros fellow traveler, blogger Jim Gilliam appears to have a very high opinion of himself:
I've dedicated my life (until November) to getting George Bush out of office. I researched and helped produce "Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War," and recently finished working with Arianna Huffington on her upcoming book Fanatics and Fools.
In case you have lingering doubts about Gilliam's bona fides, relax. The senior senator from Massachusetts is on board. Says impartial statesman Edward Ted:
["Uncovered"] is a devastating analysis of the abuses and distortions of intelligence used by the Bush administration in making its case for the war in Iraq. If the American people and Congress had been told the whole truth, America would have never gone to war.
These lying liars seem obsessed with lying. And their self-regard knows no bounds:
Whether it is the Dean campaign or the Dec. 7 house parties, one thing seems clear; MoveOn has set the standard for a new form of interactive politics in which the computer and the internet are tools in a new approach to engaging people to action. American politics will never be the same.
Blogs for Bush and Waffles come to mind.
Yes, Blogs for Bush has come in very useful today, as I ask the question of Bush supporters:
How does the Bush administration justify using chemically toxic, radioactive depleted uranium weapons ... weapons that are contaminating US servicemen and servicewomen? Isn't the use of such weapons a little hypocritical given the stated reasons for invading Iraq?
> Four soldiers from a New York Army National
> Guard company serving in Iraq are contaminated
> with radiation likely caused by dust from
> depleted uranium shells fired by U.S. troops

Some people argue that it is depleted uranium ammunitions fired by the USA during the first gulf war that caused a 12-fold increase in leukemia and lymphomas in Iraqi children and that caused a high incidence of congenital deformations in babies born in southern Iraq (caution, images at the following link are quite disturbing):

Are you referring to "Baghdad Boil"?
"What DiVona thought was a spider bite was actually caused by a tiny sand fly with a fierce parasite stewing in its gut, an organism that causes stubborn and ugly sores that linger for months."
