Blackwater: Contractors = Mercenaries

Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers is a 2006 documentary about the ongoing Iraq War and the behavior of companies with no-bid contracts working within Iraq. The movie was made by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films. Specifically, the film claims four major contractors are over-billing the government (and by extension, the American public) and doing substandard work while endangering the lives of U.S. soldiers and private citizens. The documentary contends these companies are composed of ex-military and ex-government workers who unethically help their companies get and keep enormous contracts and milk the American taxpayer.
The companies criticized are Blackwater, K.B.R.-Halliburton, CACI and Titan.
This was the first film to raise substantial production funds from small donations online: $267,892 from 3000 people in 10 days.
Halliburton has stated that the film is "yet another rehash of inaccurate, recycled information." Greenwald requested interviews with the contractors, but they ALL turned him down.
