Why is it that such a horrible tragedy as war becomes opportunity for those who are trying to make a buck illegally? they ought to be ashamed, and they will face the judgements of God some day, even if they are never brought to justice in their life times.

Why haven't they gone after the big guys: Dick Cheney. Gross mismanagement of the war should also be an act of high treason.

War profiteering is at least as old as prostitution.

Why is the government not checking its expenditures better is my only question. We know everyone is always going to try to profit from everything so why don't we do more to stop it.

JabezPrayer, war was CREATED to be profiteered on.
Tylzee is absolutely right - Bush and Cheney should be tried for war crimes.

"Bush and Cheney should be tried for war crimes." On what grounds? Because you don't think we should be over there? Because men and women, who know the risks of being a soldier, are dying over there? Or because that's what everyone else who doesn't like Bush/Cheney are spouting?

"Gross mismanagement of the war should also be an act of high treason." Hmmm... so making poor decisions (which I am not defending BTW) equates to attempting to overthrow the government???

Look, these people need to be thrown in jail and forced to pay and work off to pay every bit of money they stole to line their pockets. But as rebe1186 said, why should the bureaucrats care? We keep electing them in to power, why should they change?

The government needs to pay more attention to these things. It's absolutely ridiculous.

The United States is so depressing. Oh god do I want one drink... JUST ONE FUCKING DRINK!

But it will take a pint to forget how much I detest being alive here.
