WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. funds intended to promote democracy in Cuba have been used to buy crab meat, cashmere sweaters, computer games and chocolates, according to a U.S. congressional audit published on Wednesday.
The survey by the Government Accountability Office found little oversight and accountability in the program, which paid out $76 million between 1996 and 2005 to support Cuban dissidents, independent journalists, academics and others. It also found that 95 percent of the grants were issued without competitive tenders. http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews....pNews-newsOne-8 ( damn, I knew we were in the wrong buisness! democracy, yeah, that's what we want to spread, yeah............... <_< ) |
