Bill would boost U.S. power to prosecute war fraud
The U.S. government would have greater power to prosecute cases of fraud in contracts for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan under a measure introduced in Congress on Friday.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, and Sen. Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican, said the bipartisan legislation would update a World War Two-era law against contracting fraud to ensure that it applies to U.S. military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The lawmakers said billions of dollars have been awarded to contractors who have delivered defective products to U.S. troops in the two countries.
Congress approved resolutions that allowed President George W. Bush to use military force in those countries, but never officially declared war against them.
Leahy and Grassley said that as a result, the 66-year-old law addressing U.S. statutes of limitations on contract fraud during times of war does not apply to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Is it just me, or has anybody else gotten pissed that these jokers just keep passing laws that there are already plenty of laws already existing? Example 1: The "Brady Bunch Bill" touted that in the first year 250,000 people were caught breaking that one. And how many prosecutions did our "justice" dept. bring? Four, that's how many. And that little sympathetic "bill" for that drooling bastard was just a repetition of lots of other "bills" already on the books. I could example you on and on but the picture should, but doesn't seem to be, clear to a blind retard, yet everytime someone blows a mouth fart about "cop killer" bullets, the pussys start with the petitions. The fact is that these worthless drains on the economy really don't have anything to do, since they've decided to shirk just about all their duties, and I'm pissed, fed up and sick of it all. Am I alone?
