OT - $US 60 billion wasted
Saw an interesting news item about waste and corruption in the
payments to "contractors" in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Congress bipartisan ctte had found that the Army (mainly) had paid out more than $60 billion in overpayments, corrupt payments and in a lot of cases plain blood money to contractors. In one instance they found that protection money a contractor was paying was being used to buy explosives for road side bombs - effectively the US tax payer was buying the deaths of US or NATO soldiers. |
