"Corporate Takeover with Guns"

Naomi Klein talking to Keith Olbermann:

"There is a word for what happens when you invade a country, especially on a false pretense, and then you grab its assets," says Klein. "It's called looting, right? And it's illegal. And Iraqis responded as if their country was being looted. Not as if it was being restructured, or developed, or reconstructed, or any of the cleansed words that were used to describe it."

"It was a corporate takeover with guns," responds Olbermann.

"Yes, armed robbery, yes."
