I just got this in an action item, a new DVD movie called IRAQ for SALE:  The War Profiteers.

They are trying to get people to host house parties to watch the DVD.

Here is a link to search for a free screening.

Some quotes:

You probably remember a few of Robert Greenwald's other movies such as Outfoxed and WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price. In Iraq for Sale, Greenwald takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. The film uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who let it happen.

The Los Angeles Times review says the film could "unite viewers across all political spectra." The Houston Chronicle says "[Iraq For Sale] carries the torch for the families of civilians who died while driving unprotected trucks on unsafe routes." The Village Voice says, "Iraq for Sale is a much needed reminder of the criminal negligence of those who led the troops into this mess and those who have gotten rich off of it."

I am thinking this is relevant for the Webb campaign because Webb is a competent manager, with direct experience in military budgets and I personally want someone competent who can investigate the war profiteering in Iraq at the helm.  It makes me sick to think of what this is doing in terms of national strategy, the budget deficit and frankly pride.  All of those people operating out of patriotic duty and love of country while this is being allowed.
