Pentagon Does Not Know How Many Contractors In Iraq; Army Census Stymied

Amazingly, the Pentagon does not know how many contractors currently are working in Iraq and living on the American bases that have sprung up around the country, the GAO noted. The Army admitted in October that it was struggling to complete a census of the contractors used in Iraq, and that its data would ultimately not meet the standards requested by the Office of Management and Budget.
