To help rebuild Iraq, some $12 billion was airlifted from U.S. Treasury vaults to Baghdad in recent years. Most of that cash simply disappeared, Vanity Fair Magazine reported this month. Note to the feds: If you want to drop some more cash, we can probably make room for you to land at Capital City Airport in Lansing. Heck, the good folks at the Michigan Department of Treasury can probably even keep track of it!

This is the best comment yet on the waste associated with Iraqi reconstruction. Regardless of a position on the war itself, the appropriation of money from the public trust, without oversight is a crime against our form of open government.
