	CorpWatch : US: The Rise and Fall of a War Profiteer
		And indeed, as of this week, his reign as America’s most ostentatious war profiteer does appear to be over.
		Back in World War II, when Harry S. Truman was still a Senator, he made his name by leading a special investigative committee to go after war profiteers.
		The partisan divide over war profiteering is good news for all the David H. Brooks wannabes out there eager to make a profit off a War on Terror with no end in sight.

	War profiteer - Knowmore (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A war profiteer is any person or organization that makes profits (rightly or wrongly) from warfare or by selling weapons and other goods to one or even both of the parties at war in their own or in foreign countries.
		Active war profiteers, in addition to making profits from a war, have a vital interest in starting and prolonging wars in order to make or increase their profits.
		Making unreasonable profits from war is widely considered unethical and is deeply unpopular, so attempts to prohibit excessive war profiteering, such as the imposition of an excess profits tax, receive much political support in wartime.

	A Perle of High Price, by Justin Raimondo
		The costs of this war are just now being toted up: not only the blood of our young people, and that of the Iraqis, but also $75 billion to start with – with no end in sight.
		When it comes to choosing between the war and the economy, this President is committed to focusing all his energies on the former — much to the dismay of his conservative constituency, where dissent from the Bushian foreign policy is already fermenting.
		We are now told that this war could last for months: be that as it may, the longer this war lasts, the more the costs will pile up, not only in troops, treasure, and national prestige, but in the manifold encroachments on our civil liberties enacted in wartime.

	War profiteering Summary
		Taxes on excess profits and luxury taxes on goods used primarily by the rich were also intended to limit the accumulation and spending of war profits.
		Making unreasonable profits from war is widely considered unethical and is deeply unpopular, so attempts to prohibit excessive war profiteering, such as the imposition of an excess profits tax, receive much political support in wartime.
		The term 'war profiteer' evokes two stereotypes in popular culture: the rich businessman who sells weapons to governments, and the semi-criminal fl marketeer who sells goods to ordinary citizens.

	The Oscar Schindler Story
		It is the story of Oscar Schindler who surfaced from the chaos of madness, spent millions bribing and paying off the SS and eventually risked his life to rescue the Schindler-Jews.
		He miraculously managed to do it and pulled it off by using the very same talents that made him a war profiteer - his flair for presentation, bribery, and grand gestures.
		A man full of flaws like the rest of us - the unlikeliest of all role models who started by earning millions as a war profiteer and ended by spending his last pfennig and risking his life to save his Jews.

	AlterNet: War on Iraq: The Rise and Fall of a War Profiteer
		The more reports concerning war profiteering and all the scullduggery committed by the powers that be that are aired in the media the more notice is taken.
		The moral of his sad saga, the next treasonous prick that takes up the mantle and makes exquisite profits from the 'war on terra', must NEVER throw a party where cameras are allowed or any bands hired aren't part of the country music association.
		The fact that the organized crime organization known as the Republican-controlled Congress refuses to investigate war profiteering just shows how criminally involved the GOP is in that same war profiteering.

	MichaelMoore.com : Heads Up... from Michael Moore
		It is a WAR PROFITEER, bilking millions from the pockets of average Americans.
		I'm sorry, but the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end.
		Sure, we can be frightened into a war, but we always come around sooner or later -- and the one way this is NOT like Vietnam is that it hasn't taken the public four long years to figure out they were lied to.

	The Blog \| Jeremy Scahill: War Profiteer Blackwater Shot Down in Federal Court \| The Huffington Post
		In a major blow to one of the most infamous war profiteers operating in Iraq, Afghanistan and New Orleans, a federal appeals court has ruled that a wrongful death lawsuit filed against the mercenary firm Blackwater USA can proceed in North Carolina's state courts.
		How byzantine this war is! Recently a whistleblower seeing to recover from the contractor Custer Battle under the False Claims Act was denied recovery because the Coalition Provisional Authority -- the entity defrauded -- was not an arm of the US government.
		This is a war crimes issue and the American public needs to know to what extent these profiteering, war-mongering thugs will go to grease the palms of their friends and to turn their backs on morality and ethical standards.

	Top War Profiteer Doug Feith Retires Wealthy
		When the war began, he worked for two private companies that did business in Iraq, and was a partner in a company that invested in firms that provide security and anti-terrorism services.
		In that role, less than 2 months after the war began, he was a featured speaker at a May 2003 conference titled "Companies on the Ground: The Challenge for Business in Rebuilding Iraq," at which 80 corporate executives paid $1,100 to attend.
		It was discovered that at the same time that he was advising the Pentagon on war policies, Perle had been retained by the telecommunications company Global Crossing to help overcome opposition by the Department of Defense and the FBI to the firms proposed sale to a Chinese company.

	UPDATED: 50 Cent, the War Profiteer and the $10 million Bat Mitzvah
		Her father is not insane, just greedy, perhaps if he were in a war zone, being shot at, things would be different; this is only to say that he profits as others die, wearing his defective equipment (and he values money over the lives of other people).
		A war I consider to be, a proxy war for the Jews.
		It needs to be added that Representative Moran stated that we would not be going to war if it were not for the Jewish leadership, of which this guy throwing this party for his “Jewish princess” clearly is a part of this Jewish elite, if it were not for this Jewish elite.

	"Bring them home now!"
		Instead, Washington’s war makers are using predominately working-class young men and women--as cannon fodder in an occupation for oil and empire.
		As for the war, John told the Miami Herald last month that he knows there were "politics involved," but that he hopes "Iraqis will be better off in the future." John’s parents are more blunt.
		At least 24 soldiers are known to have taken their own lives in Iraq since the war began--though the number is expected to be much higher.

	Center for Corporate Policy: Mission
		BKSH clients with contracts in Iraq include Fluor International (whose ex-chair Phillip Carroll was tapped to head Iraq's oil ministry after the war, and whose board includes the wife of James Woolsey, the ex-CIA chief who was sent by Paul Wolfowitz before the war to convince European leaders of Saddam Hussein's ties to al Qaeda).
		Lockheed Martin remains the king among war profiteers, raking in $21.9 billion in Pentagon contracts in 2003 alone.
		In the end, the profits from the war in Iraq didn't end up being as huge for the industry as expected, and certainly weren't enough to compensate for a sharp downturn in the commercial market.

		This successful direct action to stop the war and fund people's needs was organized by a coalition which had as prominent members the Oakland Green Party, the Oakland Education Association, and Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism.
		We asked the commissioners to expel war profiteering shippers, namely APL and SSA, from the Port, and we reminded them that they have it in their power to do so.
		It is a major hub for the war machine; little of the huge revenues generated at the Port fund human needs; the Port pollutes West Oakland; independent truckers are organizing for justice and a union; and ILWU Local 10 is there fighting for longshore workers.

	Halliburton, the profitless war profiteer. - By Daniel Gross - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For many administration critics, KBR's central role in the reconstruction of Iraq stands as evidence that the war in Iraq was a pretext for crony capitalists to grow fat on borrowed taxpayer dollars.
		Because of incompetence, the chaos of working in the war zone, and a contract that limits profits, KBR's margins on its hazardous work are pretty marginal.
		According to Halliburton's most recent quarterly results, released yesterday, its KBR unit lost $15 million in the first quarter, largely because of a $97 million loss on an ill-fated project in Brazil, even though revenues for the unit doubled to $3.7 billion.

		It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

	Workers World Dec. 25, 2003: Halliburton, a well-connected war profiteer
		Brown and Root profited immensely in Vietnam, building landing strips, roads, military bases and other infrastructure for the U.S. war.
		In January 2001, Dick Cheney, who was secretary of defense during the first Gulf War, returned to Washington as George W. Bush's vice president after five years as Halliburton's chief executive officer.
		The contract is described in Pentagon-speak as a "cost-plus-award-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity service." Translation: a contract that has no time, material or dollar limits; guaranteed profits figured as a percentage--usually 9 percent--are added onto the amount spent.

		Politics – He is the personification of a war profiteer who slid through the revolving door connecting the public and private sectors of the defense establishment on two occasions in a career that has served his relentless quest for power and profits.
		This effort to connect him with war "profiteering" is just boiler plate propaganda from the left.
		One of the strategies those responsible for corporate malfeasance use to hide their malfeasance is to transfer profits from the contracting entity to other divisions to make it appear that the contracting entity is not making money.

	Meet The Carlyle Group - Former World Leaders and Washington Insiders Make Billions from the War on Terrorism
		But since the start of the "war on terrorism", the firm - unofficially valued at $13.5bn - has taken on an added significance.
		In running what its own marketing literature spookily calls "a vast, interlocking, global network of businesses and investment professionals" that operates within the so-called iron triangle of industry, government, and the military, the Carlyle Group leaves itself open to any number of conflicts of interest and stunning ironies.
		For example, it is hard to ignore the fact that Osama bin Laden's family members, who renounced their son ten years ago, stood to gain financially from the war being waged against him until late October, when public criticism of the relationship forced them to liquidate their holdings in the firm.

	Street protest of nuclear & war profiteer The Bechtel Group \| August 6 Coalition
		On August 9th in New York City, local anti-nuclear and peace and justice groups will be participating in a day of coordinated national actions targeting nuclear and war profiteer the Bechtel Group.
		Bechtel is the world’s #1 nuclear profiteer and a leading beneficiary of the Iraq war and corporate globalization policies in general.
		Through its sordid corporate history and 100 years of revolving-door relationships with government, Bechtel illustrates the connections between profiteering and war, between nuclear power and nuclear weapons proliferation, between “free trade” and the exploitation of indigenous peoples, and between corporate power-brokers and decision-makers at the highest levels of government.
