US contractor investigated for overcharging

WASHINGTON -- Federal prosecutors are investigating whether a U.S.
contractor managing more than $1 billion in reconstruction
contracts in
Afghanistan overcharged the government.

Prosecutors acknowledged in a court filing last week that their
criminal
and civil investigations focus on allegations that the Louis Berger
Group submitted inflated invoices to the U.S. Agency for
International
Development, which oversees international development projects.

The revelation came in court filings related to a Louis Berger
executive's federal lawsuit attempting to block efforts to keep his
stock holdings in escrow while the investigations continue. Louis
Berger, based in Morristown, N.J., is a major player in U.S.-funded
reconstruction projects in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The real question is, are there *any* honest contractors?

There is nothing wrong with government....only the people who plot
and
scheme to screw it. Watch those who criticize it the most. They
don't want it policed.

Governments survive by confiscating, by the force of law, money from
their citizens.

Oooooohhh...Bertie's been to one of them there teabaggin' parties...

Never been to one of them Tea Parties. They are a bit too liberal for me.


More likely, you're a bit too much of a moron to fit in there.

Ahhhhh...that private sector honesty....
