No suprise that Cheney's Haliburton subsidiary KBR is atop the list, and specializing in giving us less for more.
Also interesting is the part on how these expenditures are being done through supplemental funding bills, thereby eluding much of the oversight meant to save us $ and record where that $ goes.
This war and occupation are all about corporate profits. And who cares if thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis die. And we can't let the bankrupting of America (both financially and morally), stand in the way of rampant capitalism.

Unfortunately those stories only represent the tip of the iceberg....what is available through data mining of reports via public servers and the FIA.....it doesn't show what is behind the curtain.....believe me the problem is MUCH worse than even these horrible images portray. And I only see maybe another 1/8 of it by working for one of those DoD contractors "profiting" off the war efforts (not one mentioned in any of the articles however for the record) It is disheartening. And tragic......

And here we have a report that some of these contractors' funds are being diverted to the insurgents to fund their killing American troops. At least we know some of that cash is going back to the community.
