Not sure if this is 'news' or not:

I thought it was only slimy, cowardly Frenchies and underhand, double-dealing Russkies that stole money through programs designed to help the Iraqi people?

Seems to be little recognition of an underlying human trait called greed (that crosses national boundaries) on this board anyways...

Liked the part about sexual favours for contracts part. Oh what a lovely war!

If he puffed his chest out and lied to a group of senators he would probably be a hero.

dowling, its actually a good news story.  A scumbag gets caught.  Thanks for sharing.

heres the condensed version for those on the short bus:
====
Robert Stein admitted stealing more than $2million dollars and taking bribes in return for contracts.

Robert Stein faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.

Robert Stein's story is one of extraordinary corruption and excess amid the ruins of Iraq.
