Rampant corruption could wreck postwar Iraq

dailystar.com.lb

The survey, an annual list of countries held to be the most corrupt in their business dealings, said the future of Iraq depended on transparency in the oil sector.

"Without strict anti-bribery measures, the reconstruction of Iraq will be wrecked by a wasteful diversion of resources to corrupt elites," said Peter Eigen, chairman of the Transparency International watchdog which produced the survey. Transparency in procurement contracts was essential, he added.

The survey found that Iraq scored 2.1 out of a scale ranging from 10, highly clean, to 0, highly corrupt. 

The king of corruption is of course, Dick Cheney
