How long have I been saying that Scott McClelland, Tom Friedman, and the other war profiteers should send their book proceeds to the families of the soldiers and the families of the Iraqis they helped kill? And now MoveOn has found the same nut:

Yesterday, MoveOn.org launched a petition drive “calling on former White House official Scott McClellan to donate the proceeds of his book to veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.” The petition reads

Coming clean is great — but profiting from lying to the public isn’t. McClellan was a critical part of the effort to sell us the war and now he’s poised to make millions of dollars for it. That’s wrong.

You can sign MoveOn’s petition here.

I’d suggest a baseball bat to the head, but a petition is a start.

MoveOn to McClellan: Donate the Proceeds from Book to War Vets [Think Progress]

UPDATE: Scott says at least some of his book proceeds will go to Vets. A small step.
