Ubi bene ibi patria
" The U.S. State Department is accused of shoddy recordkeeping and outright mismanagement of a billion-dollar contract to train the police force in Iraq.

So badly managed was a $1.2 billion award to contractor DynCorp International, LLC that the State Department is unable to account for what it received for the expenditure, according to a new report by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.

In some instances, there were duplicate payments and in others no follow up occurred to make sure the work had been completed to satisfaction.

Stuart Bowen, the Special Inspector General, said Monday that disarray in invoices and records on the project prompted auditors to temporarily suspend review.
