Blocked film on KBR/Halliburton: Wonder where the money went?

Progressive film director Robert Greenwald [was] scheduled to testify at a hearing on Thursday, May 10 about war profiteering. He requested to show a few minutes of one of his films [see it here] but Republicans blocked his request.

About Me

My photo
eudaimonia
As noted on my bio page, along with the fact that I will occasionally wear a scarf, I work in the communications/media industry. In my other life, I am a grad student and (eek) poet. I live in state-sanctioned holy matrimony with a person of the opposite gender, but we find it more romantic to play like we're just shacking up. Actually, we've been together about 10 years as of today. Politically, I'm a registered Democrat who sometimes votes Libertarian, still mourns the death of the socialist project and thinks Arlen Specter is kind of cute (in that curmudgeonly grandfather kind of way.) Metaphysically speaking, my closest fits right now are secular humanist/religious trivia buff/failed mystic. Re: all this about the Golden Mean, etc., I wish I could say I knew my Classics (much less geometry) inside and out, but what I dig I dig.
