BulletProof Vest Maker & Iraq War Profiteer Holds $10 Million Bat Mitzvah for 13 Yr Old Kid

This story is so fucked up, so sick & twisted and darkly funny to me on so many levels, that it almost goes beyond all explanation. David H. Brooks, is CEO of bulletproof vest maker DHB Industries-- crappy body armor that our troops have to use b/c a defense contract dictates so, despite the fact that the armor cannot even sustain 9mm bullets and other ballistics (PDF here). Imagine this: At the behest of her war profiteer daddy, rapper 50 Cent playing at a 13 yr old girl's $10 million bat mitzvah next to celebrities like Don Henley, Tom Petty and Kenny freakin G? I wonder what kind of street cred 50 has after playing for a 13 yr old spoiled brat next to the likes of Kenny G? Besides that, the bigger picture is this: When defense contractors pay $10 million dollars for private parties w/ profits made from unjust wars, they are paying using your missapropriated tax dollars... and that seriously pisses me off. See the party pix here.
