Sex and money bought Iraq contracts - World - smh.com.au

....and what does the christian right have to say about this?

As a matter of fact, why isn't this on the news over here. This is the epitome of war profiteering, person-selling and out-right sleaze.

We are Rome.


Sex and money bought Iraq contracts - World - smh.com.au:


"A CONTRACTOR in Iraq has pleaded guilty to providing money, sex and designer watches to US officials in exchange for more than $US8 million ($10.8 million) in reconstruction contracts.

Philip Bloom faces up to 40 years in prison after admitting paying more than $US2 million in bribes to US officials with the Coalition Provisional Authority, which ruled Iraq after the US-led invasion in 2003.

Bloom's guilty plea on bribery and money-laundering charges is the latest development in a widening corruption scandal centred on a network of US civilians and military officials who worked out of a coalition outpost in the south-central Iraqi town of Hillah."
