I know this is old news, but any word on Congress investigating the billions of dollars that have gone missing?

The Case of the Missing $21 Billion
Who's Following the Iraq Money?
By DAVE LINDORFF
...more than $9 billion that has gone missing without a trace in Iraq--as well as $12 billion in cash that the Pentagon flew into Iraq straight from Federal Reserve vaults via military transports
During the days of the Nixon Watergate scandal investigation, reporter Bob Woodword was famously advised by his mysterious source, Deep Throat, to "follow the money" as a way of cracking the story.

Well, there is a lot of money to follow in the current scandal that can be best described as the Bush/Cheney administration, and so far, nobody's doing it.

My bet for the place that needs the most following is the more than $9 billion that has gone missing without a trace in Iraq--as well as $12 billion in cash that the Pentagon flew into Iraq straight from Federal Reserve vaults via military transports, and for which there has been little or no accounting.

3. Whether they find that money or not....
we're better off and, to some extent, back on track, if they at least make an earnest effort to find it and ask the necessary questions. I think we probably won't recover the money, but they can try. Just maybe, some people out there will break a sweat over the investigation.
