Commission on Wartime Contracting Reveals Large-scale Government Waste

Former Congressional Representative Christopher Shays, who most recently served as a Co-Chair on the bi-partisan Commission on Wartime Contracting, discusses the results of the Commission's findings in an interview with Dan Rather. Of the $205 billion granted to contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade, it is estimated that up to a third of the overall amount was wasted on projects that were poorly planned, poorly executed, or simply not needed.
