Old Iraq news

I thought I would also bring this story to everyone's attention again, as the news has barely covered the story (big surprise). Nearly $9 billion of money spent on Iraqi reconstruction is unaccounted for because of inefficiencies and bad management by the Coalition Provisional Authority. This is sepearate from the money that I wrote about in yesterday's post. We are talking about $9 billion. It is hard to believe that the public isn't in more of an uproar about issues such as this. But hey, we have exciting news stories like Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, and the Runaway Bride to keep us distracted from the important news in the world.
