10. just click on the link

in the bottom left of the window it should tell you that it's downloading..it does take a while..once a sufficient amount of the program has downloaded, it should begin playing...i think you need quicktime for it.

11. Who finances the "Center for Public Integrity"?

Don't they give themselves wonderful names?

12. Sorry guess I didn't make that quite clear

Lewis was rather critical of Halliburton's deals and the Defense Policy Board's influence. At one point he stated, "Is it legal? Sure it is, they wrote the laws."

And here is CPI's list of donors. They are a pretty great org and have an excellent set of articles entitled "Making a Killing: The Business of War." A series of ten articles about everything from weapons to drug wars to blood diamonds.
