The War Profiteers

The WaPo article that Steve linked today talks about one of the grievious errors that Bush committed during his Presidency.

The decision to send the loyal and the willing instead of the best and the brightest is now regarded by many people involved in the 3 1/2 -year effort to stabilize and rebuild Iraq as one of the Bush administration's gravest errors.

Yet when it comes to rating the gravest errors that this administration has committed, one must seriously look at how they have sold the country down the river for the benefit of the war profiteers. Because every week the profiteers continue to bleed our country dry for their ill-gotten gains.

Fortunately, this story will finally get the airtime needed to let the American people see how outrageous and how criminal it truly is. Because, Robert Greenwald's latest viral-marketing documentary, Iraq for Sale, is ready to be spread throughout the land. This documentary tells the tale of four of the worst of the profiteers including Halliburton and its subsidiary, KBR (formally Kellogg-Brown and Root), CAIC, an IT company who decided to make some profits by providing interrogators and translators who wound up working at Abu Ghraib during the worst of the scandal, L3 Titan who also provided interrogators and translaters for Abu Ghraib and the infamous Blackwater USA who provides a private army for the dirty war. They all have starring roles in the incredible Iraq for Sale.
