More deception from the Bush administration:
The State Department agency in charge of $1.4 billion in reconstruction money bq. In Iraq used an accounting shell game to hide ballooning cost overruns on its projects there and knowingly withheld information on schedule delays from Congress, a federal audit released late Friday has found.
"Released late Friday" for obvious reasons. Let's hope the networks still view government fraud as newsworthy come Monday.
One of the contractors responsible the cost overruns is well connected to the Bush administration: Bechtel.
