More waste, fraud and abuse from the Bush misadministration

The neverending story. From a NYT editorial:

How did a company run by a 21-year-old president and a 25-year-old former masseur get a sensitive $300 million contract to supply ammunition to Afghan forces? The Pentagon’s folly with the fly-by-night trafficker is just the latest example of the Bush administration’s cynically cozy contracting practices and shockingly weak oversight that have wasted billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money.

If it wasn't our money they were talking about, it would almost be funny. But wait, it gets better:

Along the way, the company president who is now indicted, had the gall to fight off a court case accusing him of abusing his girlfriend by claiming national security privilege “in the fight against terrorism.”

He learned well from his masters in the White House!
