Oil Graft Fuels the Insurgency, Iraq and U.S. Say - New York Times

Oil Graft Fuels the Insurgency, Iraq and U.S. Say - New York Times:
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Feb. 4 — Iraqi and American officials say they are seeing a troubling pattern of government corruption enabling the flow of oil money and other funds to the insurgency and threatening to undermine Iraq's struggling economy.



The charges against the Sunni lawmaker, Meshaan al-Juburi, are far from the only indication that the insurgency is profiting from Iraq's oil riches.
So, the new Iraqi government is corrupt? Where do you think they learned that? No, really. They probably came up with it on their own. It's not like there's a good example around to teach them otherwise.
