Palast's DVD Sheds Light on 'Bush Family Fortunes'
By Brett Sporich
While most people have heard of Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which comes out on video Oct. 5, few have heard of “Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,” which goes on sale Tuesday on DVD.
Greg Palast, who reports for BBC TV’s “Newsnight” and produced “Bush Fortunes,” was the first to capture Lt. Col. Bill Burkett on film stating that he witnessed the destruction of President Bush’s National Guard records, some of the same records that have recently landed CBS News and anchorman Dan Rather in hot water.
