Jack Cafferty's question: Why would Congress shut down Iraq watchdog?

[Swede]

Why would Congress shut down the office that's reporting on fraud and waste in Iraq?



Congress has set a 2007 termination date for the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction at the behest of the Bush administration, removing the source of a series of audit reports that have emboldened critics of the president's war polices.
The just-completed Pentagon authorization bill ends SIGIR, as the post is called, on Oct. 1, 2007. The bill, which has yet to be signed by President Bush, calls for the work to be transferred to inspectors general for the Pentagon, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department. State runs reconstruction in Iraq.
