Reporters reveal Iraq reconstruction racket
An investigation in Iraq has uncovered a pattern of waste and abuse among US companies {cough...Halliburton...Bechtel...cough...} receiving multi-billion-dollar reconstruction contracts in the country, including massive over-charges for projects; shoddy work or a failure to complete tasks; and ignoring local experts who contend they could do the job better and cheaper... Among the findings: Despite over eight months of work and billions of dollars spent, key pieces of Iraq's infrastructure -- power plants, telephone exchanges, and sewage and sanitation systems -- have either not been repaired, or have been fixed so poorly that they don't function.


"Mwaaahaha!"
