Corrupt Condi

My April post on Condi's corruption was a bit lacking on details. The AP adds some with its report on yesterday's testimony of Arthur Brennan and James Mattil.

The U.S. embassy "effort against corruption - including its new centerpiece, the now-defunct Office of Accountability and Transparency - was little more than 'window dressing,'" [Brennan said].

The Office of Accountability and Transparency, or "OAT" team, was intended to provide assistance and training to Iraq's anti-corruption agencies. It was dismantled last December, after it alleged in a draft report leaked to the media that al-Maliki's office had derailed or prevented investigations into Shiite-controlled agencies.

Hmmm. Condi said she would have to get back to Waxman, and her reply was to shut down State Dept. anti-corruption efforts. Balls, eh?
