Crooks and Liars » Plumbing Contractor Bills Pentagon $1 Million Dollars For Two Washers Worth 38 Cents

Crooks and Liars » Plumbing Contractor Bills Pentagon $1 Million Dollars For Two Washers Worth 38 Cents:

"Plumbers are notorious for excessive bills. But none has come even remotely
close to matching an extravagant claim by a South Carolina firm: almost $1m
(£500,000) for two metal washers worth 19c each. Charlene Corley, 47, co-owner
of the plumbing and electrical firm C&D Distributors, who supplied parts to
the military, is awaiting sentence after pleading guilty yesterday to defrauding
the Pentagon. She faces 20 years in jail. The most expensive washers in history
were part of $20.5m the company stole from the Pentagon over the last 10 years.
The company shipped plumbing and electrical parts to US bases round the world,
including Iraq and Afghanistan"


This should be a crime of Treason... That money is money that could have and should have been spent supporting our troops in Iraq.
