Here's What The NY Times Feels Is Worthy Of Being A Lead-Story...

U.S. Should Repay Millions to Iraq, a U.N. Audit Finds

"An auditing board sponsored by the United Nations recommended yesterday that the United States repay as much as $208 million to the Iraqi government for contracting work in 2003 and 2004 assigned to Kellogg, Brown & Root, the Halliburton subsidiary."

And sane prople of ALL persuasions stop right there at the sight of the words UN and Audit being in the same universe, let alone sentence, and laugh 'till their sides split. Let's continue with this FEATURE STORY.

"The work was paid for with Iraqi oil proceeds, but the board said it was either carried out at inflated prices or done poorly. The board did not, however, give examples of poor work."

Ah, so there were No examples given, but hell, it's the UN so we'll take them at their word.

Just another stake through the journalistic heart of the "Paper of Record". How could they be so...wait...HALIBURTON. 'Nuff said. Leave your integrity at the door whnever there's a chance to stick-it to the White House.
