War profiteers and Bush supporters

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

I was thinking it would be great to get all the war profiteers who supported GWB on one page..then I googled and found out CorpWatch has already done the job for the most part...here is their list..can DU'ers come up with any others? Can Symbolman or AmericanStranger come up with a flash including all these companies? Maybe they can do it to the background music of Cole Porter's "LOve for Sale"

<snip>
Halliburton


This company truly has a guardian angel: former Halliburton CEO and now Vice President Dick Cheney who looks out for its interests from the White House. The result? $2 billion in contracts “rebuilding” Iraq in 2003.
CEO: David J. Lesar
Military contracts 2003: $3.9 billion

<snip>

Boeing


Aside from 747s, Boeing makes "smart" bombs, F-15 fighters, and Apache helicopters. Boeing has paid tens of millions in fines for selling flawed parts that led to thousands of unnecessary landings and at least one fatal crash and has been plagued by scandals connected to the company’s influence-peddling.



CEO: Harry C. Stonecipher

Military contracts 2003: $17.3 billion

Major campaign contributions: $1.6 million in 2002


<snip>
Northrop Grumman


Makers of the B-2 stealth bomber, you'd think this company could stay under the radar. But they're dogged by scandals-from bribing Saudi princes to botching the training of the Iraqi National Army to the tune of $48 million. Above board, their job is simply selling death.



CEO: Ronald Sugar

Military contracts 2003: $11.1 billion
Campaign contributions: $2.01 million in 2002
