DISASTER PROFETEERS

Since 9/11, military contractors like United Technologies, which
makes Black Hawk helicopters, have seen their profits explode
and their executives and top shareholders rake in windfall
salaries. And as the rest of us shell out record prices for gas,
oil executives claim that "we're all in this together."

But a new report by United for a Fair Economy shows the high
cost of CEO salaries, and today, AlterNet presents two
investigations of what these industries are doing to people
and the planet:

Profiteering execs don't usually brag about their windfalls
from the 'war on terror' -- unless they're talking to
potential investors.

Chuck Collins, Eric Benjamin, AlterNet

is a bad thing. The barons of Big Oil beg to differ.
