Remember me telling you about this? Al ======================================================== U.S. Said to Pay Iraq Contractors in Cash Well, now we know where Bremer's missing $8 billion went and why he's so defensive. Sen. Byron Dorgan, head of the Democratic group that is holding Monday's hearing, said he arranged for Willis' testimony because majority Republicans have declined to investigate the suspected misuse of funds in Iraq. "This isn't penny ante. Millions, perhaps billions of dollars have been wasted and pilfered," Dorgan, D-N.D., said in an interview ahead of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee's session. Willis concluded that "decisions were made that shouldn't have been, contracts were made that were mistakes, and were poorly, if at all, supervised, money was spent that could have been saved, if we simply had the right numbers of people. ... I believe the 500 or so at CPA headquarters should have been 5,000." Its amazing that they think they can blow this money off and no one should be concerned. If the US gov't were a corp., heads would be rolling right about now. ted
