Ignoring the Pentagon’s Multi-Trillion-Dollar “Accounting Error” | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization
In 2014, the New York Times (10/12/14) ran a major investigative piece
by reporter James Risen about several billion dollars gone missing, part
of a shipment of pallets of $12
billion–$14 billion in C-notes that had been flown from the Federal
Reserve into Iraq over a period of a year and a half in an effort to
kickstart the Iraqi economy following the 2003 US invasion. Risen
reported that about $1.5 billion of the cash, somehow stolen, had been
discovered in a bunker in Lebanon by a special inspector general
appointed to investigate corruption in the US occupation of Iraq. The
article got front-page play.
