Here's what $1 million dollars looks like.



Billions of dollars have been paid to contractors in Iraq and elsewhere with little or no records of what was received. In 2008 alone, it was reported to be $15 Billion U.S. dollars. (See, e.g., The Pentagon's Fifteen Billion Dollar Pirate Plunder http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paige-donner/the-pentagons-fifteen-bil_b_103784.html )

None of that made its way back to the politicians in D.C.?
