US Military Investigates Leaked Afghan War Documents |
So, Mr Bremer, where did all the money go? This article is from July 2005 At the end of the Iraq war, vast sums of money were made available to the US-led provisional authorities, headed by Paul Bremer, to spend on rebuilding the country.

Do you remember when George Bush gave Paul Bremer the Medal of Freedom for his handling of the Iraq Reconstruction?
