Congress tells auditor in Iraq to close office...
November 3, 2006 11:38 AM
The order comes in the form of an obscure provision that terminates his federal oversight agency, the Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, on Oct. 1, 2007. The clause was inserted by the Republican side of the House Armed Services Committee over the objections of Democratic counterparts during a closed-door conference, and it has generated surprise and some outrage among lawmakers who say they had no idea it was in the final legislation.
Chalk up another victory for Halliburton at the expense of us taxpayers!
Follow-up: Krugman asks an important question --> If Bechtel is "cutting and running" from Iraq, why on earth are our troops still dying over there?
