IRAQ BILLION $TILL MI$$ING?

Back on August 1, 2004, I spotted a short article Drudge posted about a mission billion dollars that was supposed to go to Iraq but has since vanished. Here's the so-called "developing..." story as Drudge reported it:

The Justice Department has launched an urgent investigation after U.S. civilian authorities in Baghdad failed to keep track of more than a $1 billion, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Investigators have found multiple examples of fraud and abuse in millions of dollars worth of contracts to rebuild Iraq that used U.S. taxpayer and Iraqi funds.

Word of the Justice Department investigation spread throughout official Washington late Sunday.

Just now, (10:05pm 8/6/4) I did a Google news search for "missing Iraq billion" and got only a couple hits referring to this same story almost a week ago. So, in almost a week, the fact that there was all of this fraud has vanished from the news media's radar astounds me.

The media isn't right or left, conservative or liberal.

They're idiots.

"Developing..." my untanned, white ass.
