UNITED NATIONS - Iraq's U.S. administration, under fire for secrecy in its handling of Iraqi oil money, released figures Monday showing proceeds of $1.4 billion from oil sales since Saddam Hussein's ouster.

The U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority said a total of $3 billion had been deposited in its Development Fund for Iraq, authorized by the U.N. Security Council last May to hold the oil revenues and other money earmarked for reconstruction.

About $666 million had been spent from the fund, leaving a balance of $2.4 billion as of last Saturday, the authority said in a new posting at , its Web site.

2. It's $666,000,000, not $666...

the mark of the beast figure only applies to lower income losers who would think $666 is a lot of money, and they're damned to hell for thinking so!
