After the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, Congress appropriated $18.4
billion to rebuild Iraq's shattered infrastructure.
But two years later, Iraqis complain their electricity grid is more
fragile than ever and promises to improve their daily lives have not
materialized.
Criticism has also been rife in Congress, where hearings focus on the
pace of rebuilding, contractor abuse and the award of billions of
dollars of work to companies with close ties to the Bush
administration such as Texas-based Halliburton, which was once run by
Vice President ***** Cheney.
