Those of you with access to UK TV's Channel 4, should watch their Dispatches programme at 20:00 tonight.
It will detail where the $20BN allocated to rebuild Iraq has gone.
In a nutshell, it has been stolen.
363 tonnes of $100 dollar notes were flown from Andrews Air Force base into Iraq, during the first 14 months of occupation. The money ended up in the pockets of corrupt businessmen and corrupt officials.
US attorney Alan Grayson is quoted as saying:
"Iraq became a free fraud zone, and in a free fraud zone, you can steal anything you like. And that's what they did".
The people of Iraq have lost out, the members of the Administration in Washington who presided over this disgrace should hang their heads in shame.
There are some very senior people should be going to jail for this.
