View a four minute video clip from the film “Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers,” detailing specific examples of excessive waste and fraud by the United States Government relating to the Iraq war.  The documentary explains the “Cost Plus” program, which encourages contractors to run up the costs of their activities due to the contractors getting a percentage of the end result.

Interviews with soldiers are shown explaining that they were required to have their laundry done by KBR, which bills the government $100 per bag, as well as loads of expensive computers and other equipment commonly being burned in pits while still in their unopened boxes.  Also described is the common practice of destroying new trucks worth as much as eighty thousand dollars for any excuse whatsoever, such as a damaged motor due to the use of incorrect oil filters, or even due to a flat tire.
