On my show this afternoon, I talked to Robert Greenwald about his new documentary, “Iraq For Sale,” in which he exposes the war profiteering that has come from privatizing so much of this war.

Instead of supporting the troops, companies like Halliburton and CACI are racking up huge profits, while hundreds of millions of your tax dollars are being wasted and lives are being risked unnecessarily — not to mention the abusive interrogations at Abu Ghraib, which were conducted by some of these private contractors. Thanks to their incestuous relationships with politicians and high-ranking Pentagon personnel, these companies were given no-bid contracts, and there was been absolutely no oversight of their activities by Congress.
