BAGHDAD (AP) -- Stinking sewage runs through rutted and pocked streets in the former Sunni insurgent stronghold of Fallujah.
It was four years and nearly $100 million ago that Americans promised to take care of the problem, in perhaps one of the most wrong-headed rebuilding projects ever attempted in Iraq.
Now the planned sewage treatment system for the city of some 400,000 people is expected to open next April at the earliest, making it more than three years late and triple the original cost for roughly one-third of the system promised, according to a report being released Monday by the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction.
Gazette did it this time.
