there are a group of US veterans who were captured by iraq during GW 1 and were abused and tortured by the Iraqis. They subsequently sued for recompense and were favored with a verdict offering them around a billion dollars. however the US government refuses to allow the veterans to receive this money, claiming it is all the more important to use it in iraq, even to pay iraqis who were abused and tortured by US military personnel and private contracted security folks. All of this ignores some rather startling considerations.
The US is responsible for "losing" almost $14 billion dollars in iraqi economic resources as well as from poorly audited and managed contracts. The missing $14 billion, and probably a great deal more than that must be somewhere. Finding one billion of it would pay off these Vets and go a long way towards reassuring those actually fighting in Iraq now, that they might be protected when they come home. Of course they can't find that money. Really they don't want to find it. But how did it go missing?
Well, we need to consider some history here. During the Vietnam war, the bodies of the dead US troops were flown to Andrews Air Force base in Maryland. Thousands of body bags and boxes were shipped back, or at least we thought so. Then it was discovered that the Vice President of the US, who had been the governor of Maryland, working with his friends in organized crime syndicates, was using the shipments of bodies to bring in cash, jewels, other economic resources and huge amounts of heroin (CIA fund generating resources it turned out). The secret arrivals of bodies and the covered boxes and delayed dispersals covered up this huge illegal black market machinery. The V-P was indicted, resigned, and went to prison for: you guessed it; income tax evasion. RICO laws hadn't been created yet underwhich he could have been indicted and imprisoned for much much longer.
So this war begins and dead US troops are flown secretly to Dover Air Force base in Delaware, a home to very very wealthy Bush/Rove contractors. More delays, no press allowed, secret goings on at the base with none of the interest or scrutiny that such behaviors generated during the Nixon years. What came back here in those boxes, along with bodies??? Money, lots and lots of money, gold, jewels, art, priceless museum antiquities, etc. Billions of Iraqi economic resources, carefully smuggled into the US and making their way to the largest personal benefactors of Bush/Cheney/Rove et al. We cant' even begin to imagine how much has been removed and shipped here. You have to love the good ol' USA
