The stuff that these guys reveled was probably classified by the Iraq government , therefor they need to be prosecuted.

Most of them worked for US companies or for the US govt and reported the issues. Only one of them worked for an Iraqi company. The corruption is just as bad on the US side as it is on the Iraqi side.

Whistle blowers have always paid the price for blowing the whistle on stuff. It isn't right by any means.....just the way it is and has been. Should that change? Yes.

are you trying to tell me that the more power any government has the more that they abuse it?

Is this the same government a lot of you want to run your healthcare?

Not blaming anyone, just a general observation...

It's amazing how this country has changed so that companies now run everything and get away with anything.  Lawsuits are brought against the alleged swindlers, and they just dissolve away.  Happens in Iraq, happens here at home, happens with both Donkeys and Elephants.

A modern version of Lincoln's Gettysburg address would conclude:

"...a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations shall not perish from this earth."

While laz is right about gov't running healthcare, sad thing is, the future of company run healthcare doesn't look too bright either.

This is from the link article at msnbc.com.

Quote
He had thought he was doing a good and noble thing when he started telling the FBI about the guns and the land mines and the rocket-launchers — all of them being sold for cash, no receipts necessary, he said. He told a federal agent the buyers were Iraqi insurgents, American soldiers, State Department workers, and Iraqi embassy and ministry employees.


Steering this back on track...

Selling to American Soldiers, State Department workers, and MAYBE Iraqui embassy and ministry employees...Ok.

But to insurgents??? Have you guys' forgotten that american soldiers are over there, having to face this crap every day? Healthcare for citizens' is the last thing on an insurgents' mind, guys.

American soldiers are dying because of this ****.

This is actual treason. Whoever is responsible for the sales' should have to stand tall before the man.

I agree, but it's not going to happen.

But the question is which way have we gone on the various scales in the last 8 years?
