Came across this great picture today. At the same time Bush is asking us for another $82 billion to fund his escapades. Wouldn't some accountability of the money be nice before we turn over our hard earned cash to corruption? Perfect timing for both stories.

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) asked Congress on Monday to provide $81.9 billion more for wars in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites) and for other U.S. efforts overseas, shoving the total price tag for the conflicts and anti-terror fight past $300 billion.

I'm guessing each pile of money is a stack of 1000 $100 bills. Anyone see how many stacks there are? This is why you don't do large transactions in cash, it just seems shady.
Here is a link claiming the contractors were paid $2 million(20 stacks) in cash.
