"Iraq For Sale" Documentary Slams U.S. Companies Working in Iraq

[bigtree]

Sept. 4, 2006 — He's tackled Wal-Mart and Fox News with his scathing documentaries. Now, filmmaker Robert Greenwald is releasing a documentary which argues that private companies helping to fight the war in Iraq don't have the nation's best interests in mind.

"Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers" debuts in limited release this week, and presents an assault on companies that provide the kinds of services in Iraq that the military once handled itself, such as supplying food, water and mail delivery for the reconstruction.

"Finally, the left has figured out their answer to talk radio — and it's documentaries," said Prof. Richard Lichter of George Mason University.

"Iraq For Sale" is being released on a small scale this week and will then be screened in thousands of homes, union halls and churches in time for the November elections.

7. Why doesn't ABC air this after "The Path To 911?"

Why the heck is this only being aired on a "small scale?"

ABC should air this on television.
