The House debates the War Profiteering
Prevention Act, H.R. 400, which creates a new
federal criminal fraud offense to prohibit
fraudulent acts involving the provision of
goods or services in connection with a
mission of the U.S. government overseas. The
bill makes war profiteering -- overcharging
in order to defraud or profit excessively
from war, military action, or reconstruction
efforts -- a felony subject to up to 20 years
in prison and fines of up to $1 million or
twice the illegal profits of the crime. Rep.
Neil Abercrombie, who sponsored the bill,
speaks in favor. Tags :DemocratsCongressWarProfiteeringAbercrombieIraq

The Iraq war has been a boon for Exxonmobil,
Shell and BP. Aided by politicians which are
at the same time stockholders, these
companies have made record profits. Consumers
For Peace challenges these companies to use
these profits to help the Iraqi people and
returning veterans. Tags :Iraqwarconsumersforpeaceprotestoildallasbanner
