Newsweek Cover Story: Bush's $87b Mess

In the November 3 issue of Newsweek:

"Numerous Allegations of Overspending and Favoritism Have Surfaced: 'I've Never Seen Corruption Like This by Expatriate Businessmen. It's Like a Feeding Frenzy,' Says Company Director . . .

ix months ago, the Bush administration decided to cut corners on normal bidding procedures and hand over large postwar reconstruction contracts to traditional defense contractors on a limited-bid or no-bid basis. It bypassed the Iraqis and didn't worry terribly much about accountability to Congress. The plan was for a "blitzkrieg" reconstruction. But by sacrificing accountability for speed, America is not achieving either very well right now report Correspondent-at-Large Rod Nordland and Senior Editor Michael Hirsh."


Note: It's Bush's Mess. This is telling it like it is.
