Robert Greenwald film: Iraq For Sale-The War Profiteers.

A must see film available at the following link. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15097.htm

Truly shows what Eisenhower meant when he said we must watch out for the growing military industrial complex.

Apparently CACI sent Greenwald a cease and desist and he said instead of stopping they made another piece about CACI and put it up on the website.

Can't wait to get my copy in the mail.

Edit: Found the email I got recently:

Dear activists, colleagues, and friends,

In the months of work on IRAQ FOR SALE, one of the most shocking and
troubling discoveries was how CACI INTERNATIONAL profiteered by torturing
Iraqis at Abu Ghraib. Specifically, J.P. (Jack) London, the head of
CACI, took home over $22 million!

The film has former employees, military interrogators, and reporters
tell this infuriating story. CACI sent us a nasty 'cease and desist'
letter trying to stop word of their involvement in this obscenity from
spreading. Of course, we're not stopping anything, and put together a
short film you can pass around in your emails and blogs instead. Be
warned, it's about torture and not suitable for children. (or our country
for that matter)

See you at a screening,
Robert Greenwald
