On the recordFebruary 25, 2004
I cannot imagine that if this was World War II or another major conflict, but I will use World War II as an example, it is what we call war profiteering, and anyone who was associated with that, we have seen the old movies where there is an old World War II movie where they picture the war profiteers. They are the enemies of the State. They are like no different in the public's mind than Nazi Germany or the countries that were fighting the United States, because they were making a profit at the expense of the taxpayers during a time of war.
