Democrats want contract fraud documents - Yahoo! News:
From the article: "The United States has spent more than $102 billion over the last five years to help rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan. In that time, the Justice Department has uncovered at least $14 million in contract bribes in those two nations alone."
Is it me, or does $14 million in contract bribes for $102 billion total seem like a VERY small number? It's only a fraction of 1%. Of course, I don't want any corruption, and I think it's okay to check on why this loophole is back in the rule, but the way the article is worded makes it seem that $14 million is a huge number.
