this film far and wide. It is so disturbing. Halliburton and all their cronies with contracts in Iraq are paid according to a "cost plus" arrangement. That means that they receive a certain percentage over every cost they incur. They charge $100.00 for every load of laundry that they do. Apparently they told someone that it costs them $50 or $60 to do a load of laundry.

And if a truck gets a flat or has anything broken guess what they do. They BLOW IT UP AND BUY A NEW ONE BECAUSE THEY GET PAID FOR BUYING A NEW TRUCK!

The killing of US soldiers has become a very profitable business. These big executive WANTED THIS WAR. They have made a fortune on it.

Here is a clip of one man names Ben Carter who is a water sanitation specialist. He explains how he found all sorts of parasites and bacteria in the water and was not allowed to do anything about it and how the soldiers are drinking in it and showering in it now. This clip is heart breaking.

If this is the first post about this can we rate it up? They really want people to buy the video and show it to as many people as they can. I think it is OK to make copies if you can't afford to buy more than one.
