At the same time Blackwater is forced to confirm a 'friendly fire' death by one of their men in December, Rep. Henry Waxman holds hearings on Waste, Fraud and Abuse of Taxpayer Dollars. DemocracyNow gives us more.

Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking moment was listening to the testimony of families of Blackwater employees having to beg and plead for information about their loved ones' deaths. We've all seen stories about the profits these war contractors are making, it's absolutely immoral to pinch pennies and jeopardize these people. Isn't war profiteering against the law?

If you have seen "Iraq for Sale " by Robert Greenwald , those faces should be familiar to you...

Can you help us out?
