Best-Connected Were Sent to Rebuild Iraq

Why are these guys in charge of our country again? Oh, yeah, because cronies (note how I don't use the conspiracy-theory language) put them there in exchange for giant piles of cash, which in turn they got for giving them giant piles of cash... but wait, if they're both giving each other giant piles of cash, where does that money come from? Oh, yeah, us.

It ain't a wack-job conspiracy theory when it's true. (The link takes you to a Washington Post article.)

Good luck,
Chris

Journalists have much to answer for.
