BUSH APPOINTED PARTISANS AND CRONIES IN IRAQ

The Bush Administration publicly claims that it is pursuing "independent and objective oversight"<1> of taxpayer money in Iraq. Yet even as Halliburton overcharges for services in Iraq, its top auditor last week refused to admonish the company, instead offering a justification for further taxpayer rip offs.<2> But according to a new report, this should be no surprise: the
President specifically appointed auditors, investigators and budget
officials based on their partisan and corporate ties -- instead of their political independence and experience.

As documented in a new American Prospect article,<3> the President appointed a Pentagon Inspector General and a Coalition Provisional Authority Inspector General with deep Republican Party ties -- despite those offices requiring nonpartisan leadership to oversee taxpayer dollars. Similarly, the Bush Administration appointed a Bush campaign donor whose law firm represented construction contractors to run the budget office that oversees Iraqi reconstruction.

Among those chosen for leadership roles was Michael Fleischer, the brother of Bush's former press secretary, Ari Fleischer. Michael Fleischer, 48, a businessman, has been in charge of reviving the Iraqi economy.

His predecessor, Thomas Foley, 52, was a former business school colleague of Bush's and a fundraiser for his presidential campaign.
