****Bush and Co. still trying to sneak through Congress a provision that would ensure they do not get charged for war crimes or found guilty of torture

*****The Minnesota bridge collaspe: another disaster that shouldn't have happened as our government decided getting their hands on as much money for "National Defense" was more important while 2 weeks of Iraq funds would have fixed all the bridges in America.  And boy do they need fixing!!!  My home state.

********Excellent article! Gives comprehensive coverage of the Lockheed "family tree"..a list of their members in power and how much they control what goes on in this and other countries, how they sold the Iraq War and are now making $$$$, how their agenda and not the masses shaped policy after 9/11 (this is a prime example of how corporations are way too powerful and will create the downfall of mankind, our country has sold out, this article even briefly mentions the amount of money we give to Israel...oh and all seven pages are work safe and now you can honestly say "I look at Playboy for their articles!")

The US has spent a million dollars for every dead Iraqi - is that what they mean by value for money?

Trying to talk around the Genevea Convention

*****Blackwater: The private contract fighters America has hired that you don't hear about.  770 contractors have been killed in Iraq and 7,761 have been injured, but they are not included in the official US death toll.  Plus, if contractors are used for missions that are not quite legal or want to be distanced from official policy, their actions are completely deniable as they are not employees of the US government.  They make 10 times what a soldier makes.  They are bound by no laws.  They are immune against FOIA requests (even though they are paid with our taxpayer money).  They have been paid more than the agreed upon amount for less work than they promised.  They are Blackwater mercenaries.  USA sponsored contract killers.

*******What you'll learn in this article about USA War Profitering and American War Profiteers: black market dealing, phony invoices, ripping off the tax payers and government, Bush administration defending them and stopping lawsuits, congressional action, and overruling guilty verdicts from jury trials, overcharging, double billing, "losing" or unaccounted for money, instances where these sick actions !!!HURT THE TROOPS!!!, inflating troop counts so they could overcharge, unfinished jobs, made up companies, aiding the "enemy"--another way of hurting US troops, death threats to potential whistleblowers, and sadly more RANT: People have killed unemotionally for (documented number) under $10,000 (probably less), so what would people do if they had a chance to be set for life and then some?, and could buy anything they imagine, and for those who crave power could have that too....what would these people do to create this situation? Start a war? Help create a false flag attack? And it doesn't take a huge grand conspiracy...in fact it would take less than the number of people our government says is responsible for 9/11. So it would be LESS OF A CONSPIRACY to believe 9/11 was an "inside job." Also, look at who has gained more power, more money...not "Al-Qaieda", not Bin Laden (who has never says he hates us for "our freedoms" oh by the way....read the hundreds of transcripts over the last few decades). Occam's razor--Follow the Money....both usually correct cliches work here. Like I said, all you need is a few dozen people, everyone else is just "doing their job" while many just complain about their boss or work without doing anything about it. They are given facts on a "need to know basis" (and that may be a military or CIA term, but it applies in every single "normal" job I've been a part of), while some workers do whatever necessary to please their boss in hopes of more money or climbing the ladder while others simple do it over misplaced loyalty to their company. People listen to the Bossman, and the entire media and government is only run by a few. It only took a dozen or so men to create 9/11, everyone else was simply doing their job. END RANT
