$8.8B: It's around here some place

A US audit can't find $8.8B in Iraqi oil revenue cash that was funneled from Paul Bremer's Coalition Provisional Authority to Iraqi ministries with little or no financial controls. It didn't take long for the US to develop its own version of the UN Iraqi oil scandal, only this one will be swept under the rug.

Don't forget that the NeoCon's man in Iraq, Salem Chalabi, has been convicted of bank fraud in Jordan and still faces 21 years in prison if he ever returns there. With friends like these, should a financial scandal be any surprise?
