As employees of GE both Russert and Matthews almost assuredly have stock option plans which makes them shareholders of GE stock. Since GE is one of the top ten military contractors in the United States and, in fact, has profited financially from the Iraq war, it is a fair assumption to make that Russert and Matthews are also war profiteers.
I call on them both to mention, anytime there is a discussion of the Iraq War, that they both have profited financially from the war and continue to profit as long as it continues. It should also be pointed out that neither man has any children serving in Iraq. So, war is good financially for Russert and Matthews and they don't even have to sacrifice anyone from their own families. Great gig if you can get it.
