Looking for those behind the $1B "missing" in Iraq

once again, accountability is mia... the u.s. set up allawi's government, paul bremer was the man on the scene, the money flowed into the green zone, and then...?
Iraq has issued arrest warrants against the defense minister and 27 other officials from the U.S.-backed government of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi over the alleged disappearance or misappropriation of $1 billion in military procurement funds, officials said Monday.

and the costs of the war in iraq were going to be paid out of iraqi oil revenues... ha...! i wonder how much of that $1B is sitting in numbered swiss bank accounts right now...
