So, Mr Bremer, where did all the money go?

At the end of the Iraq war, vast sums of money were made available to the US-led provisional authorities, headed by Paul Bremer, to spend on rebuilding the country. By the time Bremer left the post eight months later, $8.8bn of that money had disappeared. Ed Harriman on the extraordinary scandal of Iraq's missing billions

Your tax money at work, Bush supporters.

But hey - at least it didn't go to "handouts" or "entitlements," eh?

Interestingly, this is one of the arguments against giving the UN more power and relevance.

I'm surprised to see LABF making it.

Pentagon surrenders Halliburton documents

http://halliburtonwatch.org/news/committee.html

It took a subpeona threat to make them do the right thing

The Pentagon has begun submitting documents to a committee investigating Halliburton's scandal-plagued Iraqi oil contract, valued at $7 billion, which was awarded to Halliburton's KBR subsidiary in 2003 without competition. Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT) intended to subpoena the Pentagon if the Bush administration refused to surrender the documents.

An aide said that Pentagon officials intend to make more documents public in the near future.

The documents were released only after subcommittee Chairman Shays complained that the Pentagon was redacting (concealing) internal military audits that criticized Halliburton's work in Iraq, including audits criticizing Halliburton's overcharges of U.S. taxpayers.

But hey, at least your tax dollars aren't being wasted on "handouts" for "geezers," huh W*GS?
