2. We need more like him... deserately

This is the face of America Iraqis see not the one the administration tries to paint that we are representing. They see greed and corruption without a moral sense. Bush/Cheney/Rice/Rove/Gonzales are responsible for getting the contractors in position to rape and plunder Iraq and the DoJ, politicized by Rove and protected by Gonzales, look the other way. The MSM refuses to show what has really been happening to Iraq war reconstruction but the Iraqis see it everyday. This is why the war is costing Trillions...Exxon/Mobile...KBR...Haliburton...just to name a few and they will keep it going for as long as possible to squeeze as much profit from Iraq as possible without regard for anything else. Exxon/Mobile 2006 net profit for the quarter was $39.6 billion. Think of it. KBR's profit is through the roof plus we are sending thousands more soldiers as quickly as possible knowing we will be withdrawing them ASAP but KBR makes a mint off each one we send. Remove the profits and none of these people would be there and the Iraqis know this. 20 Greenwalds couldn't make a dint in the corruption and greed of these corporations. He is a true American hero who has refused to be bought off so they will try another way as he continues to expose the DoJ, DoD, the Interior Dept. and the State dept.collaberation with these war profiteers. Our government is the only source with enough resources to hold these people accountable and look who is running the government now...corporate partners who will one day work or have already worked for these same corporations (Cheney--Haliburton; Rice--Cheveron for example). I just pray congress listens and does something NOW to make them pay.
