The Unauthorized Biography of Dick Cheney
American Vice-President Dick Cheney has walked the corridors of world power for three decades. Cheney’s remarkable life story involves the relentless accumulation of power in every form. Elected for a second term, he continues to be one of the most powerful and well-connected men in the world. The fifth estate will show how he accomplished this, what it involved in terms of costs for others and what history’s judgment could be. (Excerpt from cbc.ca)

informative and concerning. i wonder when people will wake up and rise against these “powers”. thank you for posting this documentary.
why is there such apathy about a man who was instrumental in killing america’s sons and daughters (not to mention the people of iraq) for money and power. i can’t understand the lack of outrage and demands for **** cheney to be tried in the court of law for his horrific hand in these murders. how is it that we are shocked by the hatred muslim countries have against us? where is america’s conscience?
No video! I really wanted to see this. Maybe it’s not working because I’m in Korea?
wow if what they say about **** chaney dodging the draft was true then WOWOWOWOW. A coward sending innocent soldiers to iraq for profit.
I mean how much money do you really need? **** is already over 70 years old, you don’t f****** need money when you’re dead.
Nice doc. The classic case of the largest scale of corruption but is somehow overlooked.
I hope history shows that Cheney, Bush(both), and Reagan were some of the most corrupt, evil chaps around. Not only were these clowns evil but their work will be the demise of the USA empire.
Good job CBC on the doc CBC(Canadian Broadcast Corporation), oddly enough our conservative government is constantly trying to cut the budget of the CBC.
A good, truthful documentary. It’s a complex problem for the true, Americans to deal with the problems of Bush, Cheney and the like. These false leaders will wonder if they diserve heaven when they meet God and God asks one question…did you love me and your neighbour?
Sad that those who commented on this film cannot distinguish between propaganda and truth. I’d like to know if any of those of you who commented gave 1/2 of your income to charity …something **** Cheney has done for the past 20 years. Let me pose another question.
Why is it that every single source cited in the making of this film is left leaning or liberal in ideology? Here’s a link to a credible source that did some “real” research about **** Cheney: http://article.nationalreview.com/269245/cheneys-supposed-lie/eugene-volokh.
Now .. all you truth seekers … let’s hear the outcry over the lies your precious Barak Obama has told and the associations he has maintained in his assent to power. If I don’t I have the right to label you as hypocrites … every one of you.
war profiteering isnt right wing or left wing its just not very nice.
What has truth seeking got to with obama? and how does seeking truth make someone a hypocrite?
Cheney is just a thoroughly unpleasant human being- a functional psychopath if you will who promotes war and makes a hell of a lot of money out of it- whether that money goes to charity or not is irrelevant.
Russ you are an *****- first class- go and look up “conflict of interest”- if you believe firstly in the myth of the left/right paradigm and identify yourself with the right wing of this myth then you should know that not addressing conflicts of interest are what makes capitalism ultimately doomed for failure- causing market manipulation, monopolies and true democracy impossible because the power is held not by consensus but by individuals- these individuals are essentially dictators, hence peoples distaste of them- Cheney had practically absolute power for a time in the US- no matter his actions or the consequences the fact that he was practically a dictator should turn your stomach.(Bush had trouble stringing a cogent sentence together and just did what **** told him and smiled).
@RW – The National Review a “credible” source? Only if you’re one of the far right sheep.
Part 3 didn’t work for me. But it is pretty terrifying to learn about the powers of USA.
Wow, Russ open a book once in a while. **** Cheney is one of the true villains in politics in the last 20 years. A liar, and war profiteer should not be defended. What was his approval rating again, wasn’t it in the low teens? Listening to him say things like “Our biggest mistake was making the war about WMD’s,” should make anyone recoil in revulsion. He’s a NEO-CON hack. Giving to charity doesn’t bring back the thousands that have died as a result of his “politics.”
Here’s another one I am not going to be able to stomach. A person, a public political person who cannot even HIDE his repulsiveness and who, frankly, doesn’t even need to for his deep and nefarious connectedness shouldn’t have ever been let out into the daylight for us to look at.
One thing that I did notice other than the corruption of power is that it only proved that the first gulf war destroyed Iraqs real attempt at creating a nuke. Good or bad the outcome was successful. I state that however that I Dicky boy is absolute power hungry troll, who will let nothing stand in his way.
Russ you are right on. This is a great site but you’ll find that most of the comments lean to the far left and Obama can do no wrong.
