Northrop Grumman is a private global security company who in 2005 made $13.5 billion in military contracts. They also contributed $1.77 million in campaign contributions in 2004. Interesting how the candidate that got elected that year was really into going to war.
And why would our military give defense contracts to private security companies? Isn't that what the military is supposed to be used for?
Oh...that's right. Private contractors are not subject to U.S. military authority, or to U.S. law.
So they can pretty much blast anyone at anytime and not be held responsible.
Killing unarmed civilians is big business.
