IRAQ FOR SALE Raleigh Screening Set For Monday

Corporate Traitors Blackwater, CACI, KBR/Halliburton, and Titan

Stealing from American Taxpayers, Highlighted as War Profiteers in Film

RALEIGH —Robert Greenwald’s much anticipated film Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers will have a Raleigh screening Monday night, October 9, 2006, sponsored by Raleigh Veterans for Peace, the Durham Peace Coalition and Triangle Grassroots Activists.

The documentary, Greenwald’s follow-up to his critically-acclaimed Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, is a searing indictment of the war profiteering perpetrated by four companies – Blackwater, CACI, KBR/Halliburton, and Titan – operating in Iraq

The screening, on Monday, October 9, 2006, at 7:30 pm, will take place at NCSU Student Center (415 Hillsborough St, across from Lily’s Pizza) and will be followed by a brief discussion. It joins thousands of other Iraq for Sale grassroots screenings across the country participating in a weeklong push called “Patriotism over Profit.”

IRAQ FOR SALE takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. From Army soldiers outsourced from their military jobs by contractors making five-times what they do, to truck drivers abandoned by their company to die in the dessert at the hands of insurgents. From the mother of a former NAVY SEAL who blames corporate negligence for his violent death in Fallujah, to the truck driver from Oklahoma who watched his employer literally burn brand new trucks to the ground in a bald attempt to rake in more money. IRAQ FOR SALE is a movie about corporate traitors stealing American money and spending American lives – exploiting the Iraq War to make a killing for themselves.
