Fraction of US Funds for Iraq Reconstruction Spent

HeadlineAug 04, 2004

Agence France Press is reporting the U.S. has spent just under 550 million dollars on Iraqi reconstruction since an $18.4-billion package was approved last year. The report is based on documents from the governmental agency Project and Contracting Office. The documents show that most of the money has not been spent on reconstruction but law enforcement and security.
