    This could be where some of the $9 billion for Iraq reconstruction that is missing went:

    $68,000 in parts, $20.5 million for shipping.

    To be fair, the scam started in 2000. But it took a nearly $1,000,000 shipping charge last September for some bean counter in the Pentagon to finally notice something was awry.

    But here's the thing that hangs me up: Jesus, sisters, how much is enough? You'd think that after bilking the first couple million -- or even less than that -- they'd stop pressing their luck and enjoy having stolen enough taxpayer money to not have to work another day.
