This story takes up remarkably much space with remarkably little information about the topic. We learn more about the personal lives of people, about irrelevant aspects of their business lives, than we do about the author's supposed topic. It is not well balanced, and the author does not reference the fact that Iraq under Saddam Hussein was totally corrupt, making the worst supposed levels of graft and corruption claimed in this article a huge improvement for the Iraqi people.
