3. But will we investigate, or pay the bill and bury it?

4. Great article in Rolling Stone
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/16076312/the_great_iraq_swindle

The thing that I REALLY find appalling is that the profiteers, for the most part, didn't even do a good job! We continue to pay them billions of dollars on their contracts, and they do substandard work or don't do it at all.

I send books and DVD's to soldiers through Books For Soldiers ( http://booksforsoldiers.com/ ) and I am continually amazed at the things that soldiers request. Basic things like pillowcases (yes, no pillowcases in 120 degree heat).

5. Thanks for the article, it's sad that we allow this to continue and
then deny our soldiers the basics :( :(

Still reading...
