Too many Johns, too few Turkish toilets

Ankara - Turkish authorities are investigating 47 village leaders on charges that they siphoned money from a toilet-building project to hire prostitutes, a Turkish newspaper reported on Friday.

Dubbed "A Toilet for Every Village", the state-sponsored project provided cement, steel and other supplies to rural areas without proper sewers in poverty-stricken eastern Turkey.

Who's stolen more toilets; Saddam or our Turkish allys?
