Did anyone see Robert Greenwald's "Iraq for Sale" last night?

[CitizenLeft]

This documentary (90 mins.) probably wasn't available to a lot of homes, since it was only shown on Starz, and was the world premiere. If you get a chance to catch it in the future, it's a must-see. It focussed on Halliburton, CACI, Blackwater, and Kellogg-Brown-Root and the appalling loss of life, not to mention the millions of dollars pocketed by Cheney's cronies. But what really got me was the pain felt by the fammilies of killed contractors - just truck drivers or clerks, not "mercenaries." These were people who thought they could make enough money to support their families - many, it seemed, were Republican in their thinking before they went over there. Well, they're not any more.

But the real mercenaries were covered too, especially those at Abu Ghraib, who gave orders to the Lynndie Englands over there (not excusing her/them at all, but she got caught while the contractors put there to tell her and the others what to do are probably working somewhere else now, making huge salaries).
