The night before the NYTimes ran the article on the hospital overruns, I happened upon a televised Senate hearing, headed up by Sen. Dorgan who along with some other Dems were investigating fraud in reconstruction activities in Iraq. <BR/><BR/>Because they're in the minority, I think this committee hearing has no teeth, but it was just shocking to listen to the witnesses telling about the misuse of funds and the total absurdity of what is going on in Iraq. There were a couple of Iraqi medical staff and a couple of US experts. Incompetents replace anyone with experience in these ventures, and hundreds of millions of dollars are disppearing while the need on the ground for medical treatment is enormous. This morning's front page NYT's article tells us that AID's accounting methods are in fact shell games. You'd think US taxpayers!would be outraged by the disastrous misuse their money. Where are all those red meat conservative who hate paying taxes for services WITHIN the US. Are they celebrating the waste in Iraq? I don't get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
