Reply #30: Al-j: US senator slams Iraq reconstruction

[leftchick]

Senator Harry Reid made particular criticism of the government's former occupation administration in Iraq on Monday.

And civilian witnesses said Washington had protected an American contractor accused of fraud. They also accused the US of media censorship.

"This is a scandal," said Reid, who heads the opposition Democrats in the US Senate. "We are close to 24 months into this conflict with Iraq, and the administration still can't seem to get it right."

Reid spoke during hearings in Congress into the management of the so-called Coalition Provisional Authority's (CPA) multi-billion dollar reconstruction programme.
