Better than one a month

I've known that there has to be some chicanery when billions of government dollars are involved. I just didn't realize that there are now 73 separate investigations into possible crimes committed by a few of our fellow citizens and our allies in Iraq. That averages out to better than one investigation a month. Some are for small potatoes (a couple of thousand dollars). Others are for very big potatoes; a major, his wife and sister have been indicted for accepting bribes of almost $10,000,000.

The situation is so serious that the Defense Department's Inspector General has been sent to Iraq, along with an entourage of investigators.

Are they looking for their cut of the take?
