Leaders to Call for Oversight of Iraq War Profiteering; New Film Exposes Catastrophic Consequences of Privatizing War

http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=72579


Democratic leaders will join award-winning film director Robert Greenwald and Campaign for America's Future co-director Robert Borosage on Monday to call for oversight of the corrupt system of outsourcing critical military duties to war profiteers at the expense of soldier and civilian lives in Iraq.

The Campaign for America's Future will also release a new report on war profiteering and will host the capital premiere of Greenwald's new movie, "Iraq For Sale," on Monday. The report and the movie call on lawmakers to hold corporations accountable for rampant misconduct and incompetence while carrying out billion dollar contracts from the federal government. The report details the voting records of legislators on efforts to investigate corporate abuse and the film will be shown at thousands of house parties across the nation in October.
