Why We Fight
For those of you you missed the 2005 documentary "Why We Fight," or the 2002 "The Trials of Henry Kissinger" the director Eugene Jarecki has just come out with a new book and it is definitely worth a read.

In the book Jarecki talks extensively about the “iron triangle” where he considers the intricate relationship between the U.S. military, profit seeking global corporations, and both the legislative and executive branches.
