David Grenier: Raed on Reconstruction: "The Baghdad Blogger talks about his country a year after the invasion.
The only thing happened is “rehabilitating” some schools by Bechtel, and let me tell u more about it… Bechtel charged around $75,000 per school, and... and the sub-sub-contractors painted the schools, fixed the bathrooms, changed the broken windows and put some light bulbs, the thing that cannot cost more than $7,500. Rehabilitation was poor and extremely costly; it was the first corruption story that destroyed the credibility of the plans of reconstruction." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
