I think the article should speak for itself. Anyone else here think that war profiteering is disgusting?

My favorite quote is "We do not expect or receive political favors or government contracts as a result of those contributions."

Then why all the contributions and why all the favorable treatment?

I think if I went to the store and said I would like to contribute some money to their store effort they would have no problem giving me free candy.

Then there are all the stories of how employees are given payoffs to look the other way when the money is stolen. How is this any different?

If this is the sort of Freedom and Democracy that the US wants to spread around the World, please keep it to yourself.

Does anyone on the right side of the fence (or Bush supporters in general) want to respond to this? Can this behavior be justified?
