Ty posted the article as part of his ongoing "Boy is Iraq fucked Up" series. His point, near as I can tell, is the US has done a terrible job in Iraq and should have stayed out. I was merely pointing out that with regard to this one topic, the diversion of big $$$, we are at least better off in that it was exposed.

As you say, Hank, in a third-world country with $$$ flowing through, no one should be surprised at corruption. That it is happening in Iraq is not a particular indictment of anything the Bush Administration is doing there. But I know from your postings about oil-for-food that you conservatives are all bent on cleaning up that part of the Earth and want badly to hold people to a higher standard. I therefore was confident that you would to know about similar malfeasance by our Iraqi pals so that you can rant about them, too.
