I wrote to Tom Allen, my rep. to congress, and a man of great integrity, not to mention a friend, and asked him what happened to the truckloads of American money that the Army hauled out of Saddam's palaces.
He said,Dear Ken, some of it was used to rebuild the infrastructure, but most of it went to American companies that may or may not be involved in rebuilding Iraq. What companies? Halliburton and Bechtel! What a surprise!
His letter was quite detailed, and he signed it "Tom" and with his own hand wrote, "We need regime change here"!
I can post it here if anyone wants to see the whole letter.
