In the clip to your right, actor John Cusack talks about how Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine inspired his upcoming dark comedy War Inc a satire of the military industrial complex. Bill Maher suggests that the American public may be just as guilty as the government when it comes to the rise of companies like Halliburton and Blackwater because of their indifference to the War and how it's run. Cusack concedes that Maher may have a point but adds, "After a while, you have to just expose and shame and indict and hopefully, convict the participants in this illegal, immoral ideology. So yeah, are Americans complacent. But I’m not…I’m not ready to give up or cede the Constitution of the United States to this bunch of hoodlums."
