There will always be war profiteers, but more than a BILLION DOLLARS missing? That's enough to rebuild New Orleans - or the Iraqi infrastructure for that matter (which is what the money was earmarked for in the first place)
That's the thing. Most honest citizens have no idea how much "unaccounted" money is actually accounted bills which came right out of their pockets.

As long as the guys at realpolitik and corporate biggies got their pockets full, nobody's complaining. At least half of it is money "not on record anywhere", and its pretty well over a billion dollars.

Goes to show why people in power never get their wells dry.
