Halliburton on the Attack!

Posted by Casey Peek, Director of Eyes on the Fries

Here's the latest call to action from Director Robert Greenwald!

From Robert Greenwald:

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.

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.
