gee, i wonder why this isn't reported in the U.S.?
US paid Chalabi's party $47m, report reveals.
A report made public in Washington reveals that the American State Department had paid at least $47 million to Ahmed Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress - the INC - since March 2000.
Yesterday, it was announced that those payments had been stopped.
Today's report by the General Accounting Office cites the reasons as inadequate controls over cash transfers, allegations of fraud, and the INC resisting US government policy inside Iraq.
