Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

update....
From a Congress that in 10 months managed to do something the Republican Congress couldn't do in 4 years...gee, wonder why...

Democrats Pass Bipartisan Bill To Stop War Profiteering

Posted by Stephanie Taylor on October 10, 2007 at 04:33 PM



By a vote of [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. , the House has passed the [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. , H.R. 400. The bill makes war profiteering a felony. If this legislation becomes law, anyone found guilty of profiting excessively from military action or reconstruction may be subject to 20 years in prison and fines up to $1 million--or as much as twice the illegal profits of their crime.
Last week, the Democratic Congress also [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. that would bring all United States government contractors in the Iraq war zone under the jurisdiction of American criminal law. The measure would require the F.B.I. to investigate any allegations of wrongdoing.
Both bills are spurred by the ongoing investigation of Blackwater USA. A private mercenary firm that operates in Iraq, Blackwater is under investigation for a [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. in which as many as 17 Iraqi civilians may have been killed. Following the incident, the Iraqi government expelled Blackwater from the country.

~~~~~~

Says Blackwater was expelled...I don't think so, were they...?

But WooHoo....finally ...wonder if the White House will sign it...he'll add a signing statement that he doesn't have to abide by the law just like all the other signing statements he's made...

KJ
