Investigators: Millions in Iraq contracts never finished调查：百万在伊拉克的合约，从来没有完成
AP | Millions of dollars of lucrative Iraq reconstruction contracts were never finished because of excessive delays, poor performance or other factors, including failed projects that are being falsely described by the US government as complete, federal investigators say.鸭|以百万元计的利润丰厚的伊拉克重建合同，从来没有完成，因为过度的延误，业绩不佳或其他因素，包括失败的项目，现正附有虚假产地来源标签所描述的美国政府完成后，联邦调查人员说。
The audit released Sunday by Stuart Bowen Jr., the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, provides the latest snapshot of an uneven reconstruction effort that has cost US taxpayers more than $100 billion.审计署公布的周日，由斯图尔特鲍恩小，特别监察长伊拉克重建，提供最新的快照一不平衡，重建的努力，耗资美国纳税人1000多亿美元。 It also comes as several lawmakers have said they want the Iraqis to pick up more of the cost of reconstruction.它也正如几位国会议员已表示，他们希望伊拉克人拿起更多的重建费用。
The special IG’s review of 47,321 reconstruction projects worth billions of dollars found that at least 855 contracts were terminated by US officials before their completion, primarily because of unforeseen factors such as violence and excessive costs.特别免疫球蛋白的审查47321重建项目价值数十亿美元的发现，至少有855合同被终止，由美国官员之前完成，主要是因为不可预见的因素，例如暴力和费用过高。 About 112 of those agreements were ended specifically because of the contractors’ actual or anticipated poor performance.约有112这些协议结束，因为具体的承办商的实际或预期业绩不佳。
In addition, the audit said many reconstruction projects were being described as complete or otherwise successful when they were not.此外，审计说，许多重建项目被形容为完成或以其他方式成功时，他们则没有。 In one case, the US Agency for International Development contracted with Bechtel Corp. in 2004 to construct a $50 million children’s hospital in Basra, only to “essentially terminate” the project in 2006 because of monthslong delays.在一个案例中，美国国际开发署的合同与柏克德公司在2004年兴建一个5000万美元的儿童医院在巴士拉，只有“基本上终止”该项目在2006年因为monthslong延误。
But rather than terminate the project, US officials modified the contract to change the scope of the work.不过，而非终止项目，美国官员修改了合同变更的工作范围。 As a result, a US database of Iraq reconstruction contracts shows the project as complete “when in fact the hospital was only 35 percent complete when work was stopped,” said investigators in describing the practice of “descoping” as frequent.因此，一个美国的数据库，伊拉克重建合同表明，该项目的完成“时，其实医院是只有35 ％ ，完成工作时被截停， ”说，调查人员在描述实践“ descoping ”作为频繁。
“Descoping is an appropriate process but does mask problem projects to the extent they occur,” the audit states. “ descoping是一个适当的过程，但这是否面具的问题范围内，为项目发生时， ”审计国家。
Responding, USAID in the report said it disagreed that its descoping of the hospital project was “effectively a contract termination,” but that it had changed the work because of escalating costs and security problems.回应，美国国际开发署在报告中说，它同意其descoping该医院的项目是“有效终止合约” ，但它已改变了工作，因为升级的成本和安全问题。 Mark Tokola, the director of the Iraq transition assistance office, also responded that the database the IG’s office reviewed of Iraq reconstruction contracts was incomplete.马克托科拉，总对伊拉克过渡时期援助办公室，也回应时表示，数据库的免疫球蛋白的办事处审查的伊拉克重建合约是不完整的。
Bowen’s office said its review was preliminary and that it planned follow-up reviews to investigate descoping more closely.鲍恩的办公室表示，其初步检讨，并计划后续审查调查descoping更加紧密。 Investigators said they were also looking into whether contractors whose projects were terminated by the US government due to inadequate performance might have been awarded new contracts later despite their poor records.调查人员说，他们也在寻找是否承办的项目被终止由美国政府，由于缺乏足够的表现可能已经批出新合约后，尽管他们的纪录欠佳。
Investigators said the database they reviewed lacked full data on projects such as those done by USAID, the State Department, and those completed before 2006.调查人员说，该数据库他们审查缺乏充分的数据项目，如那些做了由美国国际开发署，国务院，以及那些在2006年前完成。 But they said the figures cited in the report offered a baseline in terms of unfinished Iraq reconstruction contracts.但他们说的数字，报告中所提到的提供了一个基线而言，未完成的伊拉克重建合同。
“Adding contract terminations from these (other) sources would certainly raise the number of terminated projects,” the report states. “加入合同终止从这些（其他）的来源一定会提高多少中止项目， ”该报告的国家。
The audit comes amid renewed focus in recent months on potential abuse in contracting government-wide, such as Iraq reconstruction.审计之际，重新强调了在最近几个月对潜在的滥用在订约政府广泛，如伊拉克重建。 Last year, congressional investigators said as much as $10 billion — or one in six dollars — charged by US contractors for Iraq reconstruction were questionable or unsupported, and warned that significantly more taxpayer money was at risk.去年，美国国会调查人员说，高达100亿美元-或一在6美元-所收取的美国承包商在伊拉克重建被质疑的或不受支持，并警告说，显着更多纳税人的钱是处于危险之中。
In recent weeks, Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has been working with Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, on legislation that would restrict future reconstruction dollars to loans instead of grants; require that Baghdad pay for fuel used by American troops and take over US payments to predominantly Sunni fighters in the Awakening movement.在最近几个星期，参议员本纳尔逊，为D -阵营，一直在与参议员埃文贝赫和D - ind ，和苏珊科林斯，的R -缅因，就立法会限制未来的重建美元的贷款而不是赠款;要求巴格达的支付所使用的燃料是由美国部队和接管美国支付的逊尼派为主的战机在觉醒运动。
Danielle Brian, executive director of the watchdog group Project on Government Oversight, said the latest audit report points to significant US taxpayer waste in current reconstruction efforts.丹妮尔布莱恩，执行董事，监察组项目对政府的监督，说，最新的审计报告点，以显着的美国纳税人的废物在目前的重建努力。
“The report paints a depressing picture of money being poured into failed Iraq reconstruction projects — contractors are killed, projects are blown up just before being completed, or the contractor just stops doing the work,” she said. “报告描绘了令人沮丧的图片钱正涌入未能伊拉克重建项目-承建商被杀害，项目炸毁前完成，或承办刚才站做好工作， ”她说。
