Iraq audit: waste, fraud costs U.S. tens of millions

Kind of a simple article that goes over some of the spending in Iraq.

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/20...nt_5680325.htm

Some crib notes:

* U.S. officials spent another 36.4 million dollars for weapons such as armored vehicles, body armor and communications equipment that can't be accounted for.

* According to the report, the State Department paid 43.8 million dollaars to contractor DynCorp International for the residential camp for police training personnel outside of Baghdad's Adnan Palace grounds that has stood empty for months. About 4.2 million dollars of the money was improperly spent on 20 VIP trailers and an Olympic-size pool, all ordered by the Iraqi Ministry of Interior but never authorized by the U.S.
