When I was a peace corps volunteer in Albania, Peace corps had to disburse aid and paychecks using cash. It was risky, and probably didn't have the same paper trail. But Peace Corps had already developed procedures for that, and so did DOD (I'm guessing). There's a difference between money being "stolen" and money not being accounted for. As Bremer explained on TV last night, aid needed to be disbursed quickly at certain times. <br /><br />Still the sheer magnitude of the numbers is worrisome. I also worry a lot about the billions allegedly taken away by Saddam's henchman before the Americans came. What are they spending that money on?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
