What was it Tony said about not being there to pillage Iraq?
I caught this at the end of the Independent wed edition today:
"Iraq could soon become "the biggest corruption scandal in history" if its newly elected government does not implement efficient measures to combat institutionalised bribery and fraud, a report warns. The US-led former coalition provisional authority comes under fire in this year's Transparency International study for mishandling the post-war reconstruction process and encouraging corruption to become rife in the management of Iraqi oil revenues and awarding of construction contracts. "The US has been a poor role model in how to keep corrupt practices at bay," the report says."
Well nice to know that invasion did some uplifting for some people

Unfortunately, I think the extreme "makeover" happening in that part of the world is just getting started - with the U.S. and U.K. attempting the makeover, it's kind of like having Sweeny Todd as one's barber.
