Obscenity in the Guise of a CEO


Derrick Z. Jackson for the Boston Globe writes:
"While Army privates died overseas earning $25,000 a year, David Brooks, the disgraced former CEO of body armor-maker DHB, made $192 million in stock sales in 2004. He staged a reported $10 million bat mitzvah for his daughter. The 2005 pay package for Halliburton CEO David Lesar, head of the firm that most symbolizes the occupation's waste, overcharges and ghost charges on no-bid contracts, was $26 million."
