About the movie "Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers"...

This is the story of what happens to everyday Americans when
corporations go to war.

Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low
Price, Outfoxed, Uncovered, etc.) takes you inside the lives of
soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed
forever as a result of corporate greed in the reconstruction of Iraq.
IRAQ FOR SALE uncovers the connections between private contractors
making a killing in Iraq and the decision-makers who allow them to do
so.

This is the story no one has yet dared to tell, outlining a disturbing
pattern of abuse and mismanagement by the Department of Defense and
private security companies. It is the full story of violations,
wrongdoings, and immorality of the policy-makers, corporations, and
government officials involved; this is the tip of the iceberg of a
major political scandal.

Using whistleblowers, first hand accounts, corporate financial records
and top-secret documents, IRAQ FOR SALE tells the story that has been
kept away from the public for far too long.
