George Bush, accountability hypocrite


Does this kind of information drive you as nuts as it drives me, especially since I just blogged about one of the myriad messes due to No Child Left Behind, the king of all purported, government-bloating accountability efforts?

From the AP:

President Bush’s ambitious AIDS-fighting program in poor countries has pushed so hard for fast results that basic record keeping and accountability often went by the wayside, making it hard to judge the true success, according to government audits and officials.

Investigators found the three-year-old, $15-billion program has overcounted and undercounted thousands patients it helped or was unable to verify claims of success by local groups that took U.S. money to prevent the spread of disease or care for AIDS victims and their children.

To get really boiling under the collar, read the whole thing.
ARGH.
