Well, I think they are forgetting about Halliburton, Titan, C.A.C.I. and Blackwater. This war wasn't just a bad idea. It was a way for Republicans to make money through contributions from war profiteers. They gave away billions of tax payer money to these contractors. Much of it was wasteful government spending.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/49960-obama-s-cult">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/15488-war-profiteers-caci-and-titan-to-be-tried-for-racketeering-for-hand-in-torture 2008-01-12T20:26:46Z cliffschecter <a href="http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/15488-war-profiteers-caci-and-titan-to-be-tried-for-racketeering-for-hand-in-torture"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/thumbnail_pic/15321" style="border: solid 1px black; margin-right: 7px; margin-top: 3px;" align="left" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><p>Because apparently they were getting jealous of all the attention Blackwater was getting.

Titan provided translators to the US Army and CACI provided interrogators. Both companies are expected to file a motion to dismiss at the hearing scheduled for Wednesday, arguing that there is no jurisdiction.

We read everyone's comments on the last trailer and hopefully everyone will be pleased with what we have done. This is the trailer that will be seen in theaters over the summer. The first cut of the film will be done in a couple of weeks and the picture will be locked (meaning no more changes can be made) a week after that. Next week we will send you the poster for the film, and we will also be asking for your suggestions for community groups to share the film and our education 'action guide' with.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/343-the-new-trailer-is-ready">Watch the video</a>
