Quotes 

• Eugene Jarecki : The military industrial complex today is more entrenched than back then, but it's also much more generalized across our society. I would argue, seeing what's happening in Wall Street and so many other industries, I think people feel that it's not just the military industrial sector, there is a kind of corporate political complex at work in this country. It's probably a better term for it. It has to do with hand-in-glove, corporations and people in Congress working a bit too closely.

  Self - Host : You're talking about the earmarks.

  Eugene Jarecki : Earmarks, I'm talking about deregulation, favoritism, cronyism, Haliburton, Blackwater, the list goes on. We all know the names of these companies we didn't even know about ten years ago because that corruption has risen to our... line of sight.
