Fred Kaplan on the cost of the Iraq War and how no one seems to care how we spend the money, just so long as we spent it. I'm always amazed that to some people who favor high defense spending, the issue of how the money is used is a minor point. The fact that the contractors deliver a shoddy, unusable product — or that they don't deliver at all — is picky, picky, picky. You'd think we could all at least be on the same page that whatever we spend, we oughta demand the best possible equipment and service for it. Yeah, you'd think that, wouldn't you?
