A new Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction audit shows that Pasadena-based contractor Parsons got $142 million in Pentagon cash for work it didn’t do. Parsons was supposed to build a prison in the Diyala province as well as border patrol and courthouse stations.

But as the Washington Post’s Dana Hedgepath and Amit R. Paley tell us, the prison was abandoned, sort of taken up by a new contractor and is now called "the whale" among Iraqi citizens. Parsons has up to $900 million worth of work in Iraq. An audit released today promises to show how much of that is actually getting done.-MB
