Pentagon auditors also announced a broad-scale review of their defense contracts. The measures include sending teams of auditors to the Gulf Coast to monitor reconstruction efforts.

Previous government audits have shown that the credit cards, which typically have a purchase limit of $2,500, were improperly used to pay for prostitutes, gambling activity and even breast implants. About 250,000 federal employees have the government credit cards.

Those bureaucrats look like Canadian ones, too. I know; I've been one. And have had parties right in the office during working hours, and I'm certain they cost hundreds and were charged to the taxpayers. Nothing stopping that, except the dethroning of King Paulie and His Court of Imbeciles.
