Afghanistan wars is going -- especially money that should be going to the Troops.

LOGCAP Oversight Team issues Stunning After-Action Report
A startling example of dysfunctional and ineffective oversight was revealed at the Senate Subcommitte hearing
on "Management and Oversight of Contingency Contracting in Hostile Zones" Thursday, January 24, 2008. A 2005 LOGCAP
Support Unit Team Detachment after-action report, written by team members who were on duty in Iraq between June 2004 and June
2005, was submitted to their chain of command that documented a lack of support and such issues as LOGCAP Program Managers
"leading the charge" for KBR and supporting their "boondoggles."
There was no doubt that LOGCAP program officials were upset with the report and its unknown if it was eventually
edited and trashed so that it would never see the light of day. Click on the After-Action Report at the left side
of this site to read the full report.

Problem's so big, I had to write a book
After a year, the Follow the Money Project has gathered so much information on the subject of where the troops' money
is going that I decided that a book published by a major publisher was the best way for now to reach a larger audience. So
I will be taking book leave until December 2006. The book will tell the story of the problems of private contracting in Iraq
and Afghanistan through the eyes and experiences of troops and contractor employees.
I will still be gathering information from people who have seen the problems with the contractors in a war zone and would
like to hear from you. Email your thoughts at admin@followthemoneyproject.org. Meanwhile, I will be posting information here that is timely and cannot wait for the book to be published. If you want to
know about it, join our email list below and I will send you a notice of any new developments or exposes.
Look for the book to be published this Spring! I will be returning to regular posts and posting of exposes in 2007.
Comments are encouraged. Contact us at admin@followthemoneyproject.org
Troops! We need to hear from you about what you saw in Iraq or Afghanistan on supplies and
equipment. We also want to hear from contractor employees who have returned and troubled by what they saw in Iraq or Afghanstan.
We will keep all letters confidential. Email us at admin@followthemoneyproject.org .
