Countdown: Halliburton CEO has made over $100 million since war began
On last night's Countdown, Keith (Edward R. Murrow) Olbermann discussed "obscene war profiteering" with IRAQ FOR SALE director Robert Greenwald.
As Greenwald states:
"It is quite shocking… Halliburton is being protected at the highest levels of government. They are paying lobbyists huge amounts of money. They are giving campaign contributions. They're hiring former high-level military people… David Lesar has made over a hundred million dollars, the head of Halliburton, since this war began - that is an obscenity..."Check it out and pass it on.
