Follow up for the film:
Dear activists, colleagues and friends,
Halliburton is starting to attack, and now we're taking the fight to Washington to impact their one and only customer: the U.S. government.
I'm about to get on a flight to DC for a press conference tomorrow at 11am with two of the Halliburton/KBR truck drivers and Senator Dorgan, followed by hearings on war profiteering at 2, and the DC movie premiere at 7.
We are amazed that they openly admit to not seeing the film, and then proceed to attack it because they can "deduce" its content! I kid you not. Maybe they can deduce what happened to the billions they overcharged.
They accused us of being "privately funded," which is their pathetic effort to smear the 3,006 of you who contributed to make the film happen! Perfect for a corporation where the head guy, David Lesar, one of THE top war profiteers, made over $40 million.
They attack us for getting the facts wrong, with no mention of any facts we got wrong. Then THEY distort the facts -- one of my favorite being, "By all accounts, KBR's logistical achievements in support of the troops in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan have been nothing short of amazing."
They cite 411 million meals served, but neglect to mention how many they overcharged for. They cite 5.85 billion gallons of water, and still haven't responded on how many gallons were contaminated.
And it goes on and on... read it for yourself if you want a good laugh. http://iraqforsale.org/hbattack.php
We think it's time for Halliburton CEO David Lesar to own up, and since he's not going to do it himself, we will do it for him. Watch this television ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAxIO0VtTiY
The fight is going to get tougher, harder, and meaner. The media attention on the war profiteers is escalating: CBS News, the Washington Post and the LA Times all featured stories this weekend. The stakes are significant and Halliburton, CACI, Titan, and Blackwater are all watching very closely and will do everything possible to secure their profits.
We'll keep you informed of the latest on the movie blog: http://iraqforsale.org/blog.php
Help us get the film out as widely as possible. Email your friends, post on your blogs, arrange screenings, and show the profiteers that these patriots WILL NOT BACK DOWN.

P.S. The Senate DPC hearings tomorrow are in 538 Dirksen and are open to the public. After DC, I will be at premiere screenings in Philadelphia on Tuesday, St. Louis on Wednesday, Denver on Thursday, and Portland on Friday. Please come out!
