Some of the links might be dead but there's a bunch of good ones in there. We can always re-locate the story from another source.

Saw this letter today in the paper...
http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051203/OPINION03/512030315/1040/OPINION
The war mongers who send our kids over to Iraq to be wounded, maimed or killed, they won't even pay for their phone calls home...
to their parents and loved ones!
Let soldiers make free phone calls
As a concerned parent of a soldier in Iraq, I hope things will get better and my son will come home soon. Every day our soldiers are being killed, and I pray every day my son is all right. I find comfort in receiving a phone call when he can call home.
What bothers me most is that our soldiers have to pay to call home. They use up phone cards, which they purchased, and have to pay to recharge. I buy minutes for my son when I can.
Our young men and women put their lives on the line every day and it should not have to cost money for them to call home. With the billions of dollars spent on this war, some of it could be spent on our sons and daughters. They should be given free phone calls home. It helps them and parents alike to get through this rough time. If anyone else feels the way I do, I hope they will pass along their thoughts.
God bless our soldiers, and I hope they will be home with us for the holidays next year. During the holidays, let's remember our soldiers and be thankful for the freedom we have.

http://news.findlaw.com/prnewswire/20050912/12sep20051800.html Shareholder Class Action Filed Against DHB Industries, Inc. By The Law Firm of Schiffrin & Barroway, LLP
RADNOR, Pa., Sep. 12 /PRNewswire/ --
RADNOR, Pa., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement was issued today by the law firm of Schiffrin & Barroway, LLP:
Notice is hereby given that a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of all securities purchasers of DHB Industries, Inc. ("DHB" or the "Company") from April 21, 2004 through August 29, 2005, inclusive (the "Class Period").
If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Schiffrin & Barroway, LLP (Darren J. Check, Esq. or Richard A. Maniskas, Esq.) toll-free at 1-888-299-7706 or 1-610-667-7706, or via e-mail at info@sbclasslaw.com.
The complaint charges DHB, David H. Brooks, Sandra Hatfield, and Dawn M. Schlegel with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. More specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse facts which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them: (1) that DHB's body armor products were unsafe and defective; (2) that despite knowledge of this, the Company continued to falsely represent that its body armor products were safe and of high quality; (3) that defendants knew and/or recklessly disregarded that continued sales of its unsafe and defective body armor products could have a material adverse effect on DHB's finances; and (4) that DHB lacked adequate internal controls and because of this, was unable to determine the true financial impact of withdrawal of any of its products.
On August 30, 2005, DHB announced that it would take a charge of up to $60 million in the third quarter to discontinue production of certain bullet-proof vests because of safety concerns. Following this announcement, shares of DHB, on August 30, 2005, fell $1.56 per share, or 23.42 percent, to close at $5.10 per share on unusually heavy trading volume.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of class members and is represented by the law firm of Schiffrin & Barroway, which prosecutes class actions in both state and federal courts throughout the country. Schiffrin & Barroway is a driving force behind corporate governance reform, and has recovered billions of dollars on behalf of institutional and individual investors from the United States and around the world.

http://www.irregulartimes.com/warmoney.html Actually, throwing money at the military only seems to be breeding enormous corruption high in the ranks. Right now, the American public is paying around $4 Billion every month to the military for the war in Iraq. The strange thing is that, every month, only $2.5 Billion of that $4 Billion is accounted for. Where is the missing $1.5 Billion going? Well, George W. Bush refuses to tell the American public, and won't even make a hint to Congress. It's another one of his secrets. Bush likes secrets.

| $172 billion per year

* The Center for Defense Information (founded by retired generals and admirals) thinks we could get by quite nicely with about a million soldiers, instead of the 1.6 million we now have, and with a Pentagon budget of about $200 billion.
The average of those three estimates is $155 billion a year-quite a bit less than the $327 billion a year we actually spend. (And remember: that $327 billion doesn't include the $167 billion or more we lay out each year to service debt that's the result of past military programs. Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that past debt-except to cut down on present military budgets, so the problem doesn't keep getting worse.)
Subtracting $155 billion from $327 billion gives us a figure for current military waste and fraud of $172 billion a year-almost $500 million a day-virtually all of which goes to large corporations and super-rich individuals. (Sure, some of it pays for ordinary people's salaries, but they'd also be earning money if they were doing something useful.) Half a billion dollars a day could buy a lot of medical care, or fill a lot of potholes, or...you name it. After all, it's your money. http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Corporate_Welfare/Military_Fraud.html
