Yeah. Somewhat to be expected given the chaotic nature of things over the last couple of years, but they should still be found and prosecuted.
On an interesting note, I know a guy who worked as a private contractor over there, and he said they would very often do business completely in cash because there was no banking infrastructure in place to do it any other way. Guys would show up at their offices and say, "We need $100K in cash to buy vehicles." They would take the money and buy the vehicles. No receipts, no paper trail. In the case of my acquaintance, the money seemingly was going toward legit uses, but the general lack of banking, accounting records, or any paper trail created a situation where people could steal from the public treasury with very little risk of being caught. >Anyone else see a wire services story saying that the Iraqis have issued >arrest warrants for members of the Allawi government because there are large >chunks of the military budget missing? > >-- >In the long run we are all dead. - John Maynard Keynes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:176872 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
