War Profiteer Knows How to Party by Sarah Anderson Over the past few months, I’ve gotten all kinds of flak from CEOs who were the subject of a report I co-authored about executive pay among defense contractors. Jack London of CACI International, whose employees interrogated prisoners at Abu Ghraib, denounced what I wrote as “shameful” and “ignorant.” A United Technologies official accused me (falsely) of slander. Thank God for the tax cuts. They only added to this butthole's windfall profits. But God forbid, we take some of that money away to help the poor.....how unAmerican, how socialistic, how UGLY! This article is no surprise given who we have as president and the kind of friends he has, but you really have to wonder what kind of people are Harris, Ten, LL etc who so devotedly support this cabal and their slimy ways. ted

>Americans haven’t always been so blasé about war profiteering. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously said: "I don't want to see a single war millionaire created in the United States as a result of this world disaster.” >FDR’s strong feelings about war profiteering were shared by his successor, Harry Truman. As a Senator, Truman had traveled around the country going from one defense industry factory to another to investigate charges that executives were reaping unfair rewards. He later formed an investigative committee that saved billions in military costs. Imagine if Truman and FDR were alive today what they might have to say about Brooks’ extravaganza. Communists. -Z
