"Iraq, Inc:
A Profitable Occupation", with Pratap Chatterjee |

"Iraq,
Inc: A Profitable Occupation"
with Pratap Chatterjee
"Pratap
Chatterjee takes us into the fast-spinning revolving
door between the government officials who attacked Iraq
and the corporations who have profited so handsomely
from the war. A powerful combination of investigative
research and on-the-ground reporting, Iraq, Inc. is
essential reading for anyone who wants to know what
has really gone wrong in Iraq."
—Naomi Klein, author No Logo, columnist,
The Nation
|
"Pratap
Chatterjee follows the imperative of Watergate whistleblower,
Deep Throat, to "follow the money" to some
of the most dangerous locales, pursuing war profiteers
and private military contractors to witness and report
directly on their misdeeds. Chatterjee's muckracking,
practiced with diligence and courage, is all-too-timely
and far too rare within the ranks of the press. Iraq,
Inc., is the ultimate primer of how modern U.S. invasion
and occupation for profit is being waged. You won't
learn any of this on the evening news."
—Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!

More
than one year after the "fall of Baghdad,"
the reconstruction of Iraq is failing terribly.
Ordinary Iraqis wait in line for basic necessities
like clean water and fuel, while the number of civilians
and soldiers killed escalates in tandem with the
billions of U.S. tax dollars spent.
In Iraq, Inc.: A Profitable Occupation,
Pratap Chatterjee delivers an on-the-ground account
of the occupation business, exposing private contractors
as the only winners in this war.
Chatterjee
examines the big failings and even bigger swindles
of Iraq's corporate managers, from the dangerous
follies of an out-of-touch government-in-exile to
the unchecked price gouging by Cheney's successors
at Halliburton. In Iraq,Inc. Chatterjee contrasts
the employment boom of mercenaries-more than 20,000
soldiers of fortune from apartheid-era South Africa,
Pinochet's Chile, and elsewhere in Iraq-with the
crowds of unemployed locals ripe for recruitment
to the resistance.
Drawing on years of research and first-hand experience
in the region including his live reporting from
post-invasion Iraq as he traveled around the country
first in December 2003 when Saddam Hussein was captured
and in April 2004 during the height of the seige
of Fallujah, Chatterjee brings us the dilapidated
hospitals, looted ministries, and guarded corporate
enclaves that mark the plunderous road to America's
free Iraq.
