Just watched this Robert Greenwald documentary. It outlines the abuses by KBR, CACI, Titan and other contractors to run up the tab and profiteer on the Iraq war.

Testemonials from soldiers, employees and their survivors raise some pretty serious questions about abuses such as burning brand new equiptment and supplies because they were misshipped under a cost plus contract. Replacing entire trucks instead of changing the oil. Water that was knowingly unsafe was given to troops without warning and employees fired when they tried to alert the troops to the danger.

Hopefully someone will be held accountable.

It isn't true until someone makes a movie about it. You just don't get any more sober or objective than hollywood.

What were some of the facts that really stuck out in your mind? I bet you were even more shocked when you checked out their sources too.

It makes me sick seeing people make money and fame off these conspiracy theory "so-called" documentaries.

It's even better when you check their sources (on the website).

It's a sad commentary that these types of films are resonating.. no objectivity and pretense of any. pure propoganda.

I don't know how much of the film is true or even if any of it is true but the blatant agenda and lack of anything more than emotion pretty much makes it a non watcher for me.

This is simply a movie.. it is comfort for those who feel the same as the lefties who made it and it is an indoctrinization film for the terminally stupid.

I was waiting for you to bring that up. I think that it was also propoganda and that it was... after all... a movie.

If it had anything going for it tho was that it was the opposite of what some of these lefty ones are... it mostly let the scientists in the field talk.. it was more like what a documentary should be... I bet you can see the difference.

simply look at the sources as sited on the "for sale" website or peruse the sites debunking michelle moors crap and fakery and then look at who was being interviewed in the global warming hoax.

I have not changed my mind... a movie is not how we should get our opinions on things..

there are some very distinct and important differences tho.... the hoax documentary was a rebuttal to albores movie and a lot of false science running around in the media..

I would watch a movie debunking some other drama passed off as popular opinion any day. especially if it was done as well with as many real scientists and with as much humor.

I don't know if anyone changed their mind after hoax but I bet more people did research after it to see if it was true.. we have a long running global warming thread that would most likely simply be one that talked about how much money to send albore to reduce our carbon footprint..

no debate... no info..
