One month after the invasion of Iraq, the United States began airlifting
planeloads of cash to Baghdad. Between April 2003 and June 2004, a total of

dispensed by the Coalition Provisional Authority for reconstruction. To
date, at least $9 billion dollars cannot be accounted for. In a startling
new expose in Vanity Fair, Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalists
Donald Barlett and James Steele follow the money trail from the Federal
Reserve to Iraq.
