So this is why Rice was out yesterday: Feds Finds Massive Fraud in Bush's $150 Billion Iraq Reconstr
Feds Finds Massive Fraud in Bush's $150 Billion Iraq Reconstruction; Also Looking at Afghanistan

Fake 'Big Government' foes Breitbart, O'Keefe apparently in favor of continuing tax-payer rip-offs...

http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7753

We missed this one recently (as did the tax-payer "watchdogs" "Andrew Breitbart Presents...Big Government" for some odd reason):
Investigators looking into corruption involving reconstruction in Iraq say they have opened more than 50 new cases in six months by scrutinizing large cash transactions - involving banks, land deals, loan payments, casinos and even plastic surgery - made by some of the Americans involved in the nearly $150 billion program.

7. Good
We find out who they are, give them a fair trial, and then hang em. War profiteers are right up there with murderers, child molestors, and career thieves, to me. I have no sympathy at all for them, and I do believe hanging is a fair and just punishment. Letting the public finance whats left of their lives is not justice, that's a burden on the public that could go to feeding the hungry. I will never take food out of an honest man's mouth to mkae sure some thief, war profiteer, murderer, or child molestor gets to eat three meals a day. They lost that right when they made the decision to commit their crime.
Yeah, I'm a hard ass. Always have been, always will be. I HATE CRIMINALS!
