This audio clip from NPR's Marketplace, referenced at talkingpointsmemo.com, is indeed worth the listen. Its a salesman on the hunt in Iraq, telling it like it is ( at least to some degree). $87 billion annually is $10 millions per hour, 24/7.

Trying to charge Iraqi businesses $7500 to join their 'consortium' so that they can subcontract work from US companies? Isn't that the same scam the mob used to run on the docks?

John Gotti has got to be kicking himself that he didn't get into government work...
