i also interviewed lawyers from the center fro constitutional rights with relation to private contractor relationships to us military torture facilities. I interviewed Barbara Olshansky from CCR in istanbul when she came to speak at the world tribunal on Iraq. she gave me a very powerful heartfelt interview that i shot beautifully in 24p. no one cared. not a single producer helped me get this out to the public...
the CCR are extremely important players in ending this fascist takeover of democracy in america, and i applaud all efforts to have them heard...

There is a major difference between profiteering and profit. Profiteering is defined as taking "UNFAIR advantage of a shortage of supply, such as is produced by WAR, to make excessive profits by charging UNREASONABLY high prices."
Profit is defined as "to be of advantage or benefit; to bring good."

The congressman tried to get the profiteers off the hook by asking you about profiting from the video and represents a ubiquitous tactic of the Republicans: Attack the messenger and not the substance of the message. That's one excellent way of knowing they haven't a leg to stand on, but is simply a desperate and despicable effort to show their deep pocket owners that they're in there fighting for the profiteers (and "please won't you make a sizable contribution to my campaign fund").
