Billions in Iraq oil money managed by the CPA is missing......

What this report shockingly reveals, however, is that the billions of dollars of oil money that has already been transferred to the US-controlled Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) has effectively disappeared into a financial black hole. For all the talk of freedom and democracy for the Iraqi people – before, during and after the war which toppled Saddam Hussein – there is no way of knowing how the vast majority of this money has been spent

2. Now THERE is a fucking surprise.
Gives billions of dollars to a convicted embezzler (Ahmed Chalabi) and then act all surprised when it disappears. Nice work there boys!
