In this clip, Maher interviews filmmaker Robert Greenwald to talk about his latest movie, “Iraq for Sale,” which focuses on the hidden capitalist interests of those who are profiting from the war. Greenwald reveals that our tax dollars are going into the pockets of corporations rather than toward the reconstruction effort or the military.
