Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers
I'll send a free copy of the DVD to anyone who wants one who promises to watch it with someone else.

Iraq for Sale Update: DVD Becoming a Weapon in 06 Election

...When I first saw the hard-hitting documentary, I suggested that "Democrats looking for another way to nationalize the midterm elections need look no further than their movie multiplexes and DVD players" because the film's "measured tone -- in conjunction with the corruption, cronyism, and cynicism it shines a spotlight on -- make it a perfect tool for Democrats looking to turn the tide in Red states. No one likes a war profiteer."

A growing number of Democratic leaders have had the same reaction and are using the film to call attention to the GOP's failure to rein in the contractor abuse and fraud that have been the hallmark of the Iraq war privatization fiasco. It's also allowed them to go on the offensive and reframe the national security debate -- showing how the Republicans sacrificed the well-being of our troops and the Iraqi people on the altar of rewarding their corporate backers.
