MORE CORRUPTION IN CPA CONTRACTS

And the hits just keep coming.

Seriously, was there ANY oversight of the CPA by any responsible parties? A person convicted of felony fraud is hired to award government contracts and given more than $50 billion in cash to distribute? Who can pretend to be surprised that the result is a waste of Iraqi and taxpayer money and assets, theft, kickbacks and the luring of professional military into the ring of corruption.

Is this the kind of thing that Col. Ted Westhusing had to confront? Certainly it sounds similar to reports of his Iraq experience. For a man to whom honor and ethics were his profession as well as his practice, the environment of waste, corruption and deceit must have seemed like hell itself.
