Challenging the Business of War
The other day, my friend Tom heard one of those right-wing, talk-radio disc jockeys ranting about how when the war is over, we're going to pump out a jillion gallons of oil from Iraq as payment for liberation. Can't say I'm surprised. We all know Dick Cheney's last job was at Halliburton, which already has a government contract to restore Iraq's oil wells to operating condition.
Citizen Works is planning a rally at Halliburton's DC office to bestow the Vice President with the "Daddy Warbucks" Award for excellence in corporate war profiteering as part of its national Big Business Day actions. The rally is on Friday, April 4, at noon at 1150 18th St. NW. For more information, contact Citizen Works at 202/265-6164.
