You'd best tell the US Government this, as their links to Iraq are satellite and easily interceptable they might want to know that their traffic is insecure.
I have given you the information to find out how, where and why. If someone showed you this they were playing games with it somehow. It is not possible to do a man-in-the-middle on VPN connections, if it were they would be pointless.
Anyways I won't argue about it either as millions of VPN users, governments, security agencies and armed forces know I'm right and trust sensitive data to this technology every day. Step away from the indignation and that 'demonstration' and just have a think about what you're saying, which is that there's no such thing as a secure network link so long as the data traversing it can be intercepted in some way. Then think if that actually makes any kind of sense.
What you probably saw was someone doing an SSL proxy with a badly configured browser with no sense of certifcation authorities. That is not invisible either as those proxies can only be self-signed and the certificates would flag to indicate that they are not properly signed and only have a 1 step CA.
EDIT: Just for you I'll get a packet capture later of me logging onto my online banking, I won't miss a packet, and I'll upload it to an FTP server for anyone who wants to download it and try and break it, I'll make sure I get the full setup etc.
