Of 53 construction projects in the massive Parson contract, only 18 were completed. As of this spring, Parsons had been paid $333 million. More than $142 million of that — or almost 43 percent — was for projects that were terminated or canceled. While the failure to complete some of the work was "understandable given the complex nature and unstable security environment in Iraq, millions of dollars" were likely wasted, the report said. Why are Bush and Cheney not culpable? I can't believe they will be allowed to go off scot free. It sickens me.
