I can verify that both of these are incorrect:

6. Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, a long-time friend of the Bush family, was caught lying about his ownership of ES&S by the Senate Ethics Committee.

7. Senator Chuck Hagel was on a short list of George W. Bush's vice- presidential candidates.

First, Hagel is no republican. He make all of us Nebraska republicans ashamed to have him, and if he ever does run for president, it will be as a democrat. His record is solidly democrat, and he takes every opportunity to bash our President and the War.

Second, the idea that Hagel was considered to be Bush's running mate is ridiculous. Besides, if Cheney was running everything behind the scenes, do you really think he'd let that happen? You can't have all of your conspiracy theories, stick with one.
