The payment is but one example of the process by which US dollars have disappeared without a trace into the confusion (and, yes, corruption) of Iraq reconstruction, confounding Pentagon auditors who are now trying to find out where all that money went… and what exactly, if anything, the US got in return.付款，只不過是其中一個例子的過程中，其中美元已消失得無影無踪進入混亂（和，是的，腐敗）伊拉克重建，混淆五角大樓審計誰正試圖尋找出所有的金錢去… …和什麼正是，若有的話，美國得到的回報。
