(Video) More US taxpayer abuse in Iraq

A new report released by the Government Accountability Office shows that a government contractor wasted millions in Iraq.  Army investigators have opened up as many as 50 criminal probes that involve criminal abuse from battlefield contractors.  NBC's Today Show ran a story on it this morning:

This is just one of many instances in which the government had hired contractors that wasted U.S. taxpayer money.  Back in May of last year, a U.S. audit revealed that billions had been wasted.  And that followed another report from January of 2005, where nearly $9 billion for some reason went missing in Iraq.

Here is the official report (pdf).

If you haven't watched the DVD "Iraq for Sale", rent, buy or borrow it. What is going on will disgust you.
