A new Pentagon audit resolves a lingering Iraq-war mystery, concluding that $6.6 billion of U.S.-controlled reconstruction money was transferred to the Central Bank of Iraq, not lost or stolen.
The Coalition Provisional Authority, created by the U.S. to run Iraq after the invasion, controlled more than $20.7 billion during its 14-month life, including $6.6 billion held when it was dissolved on June 28, 2004.

Yeah it was Iraq's money. Let them account for it. Funny how they tell us to leave and magically find it.

Well thank goodness for that then. For a moment I was afraid we'd have to send in Encyclopedia Brown to solve the case.
