Infographic: Where Did the Money to Rebuild Iraq Go?

People complain about corporate bailouts here in the US, but at least we know who got them and what they spent it on.  Sure, it’s mostly managerial bonuses, but at least we know.  Not so much with the Iraq reconstruction money.  Nobody - not even the pentagon - knows what happened to nearly all of it.  And that’s just the money earmarked specifically for rebuilding.  They also shipped over pallets of cash and essentially handed it out to anybody with an empty duffel bag and a good story.  No receipts, nothing.

The bailouts here could have been handled better, but they seem remarkably well planned and managed in comparison to this bullshit.
