Risen on the cost of Iraq contracting

Risen reports on a new report out by the Congressional Budget office which according to people with knowledge of its contents say will reveal that

one out of every five dollars spent on the war in Iraq has gone to contractors for the United States military and other government agencies, in a war zone where employees of private contractors now outnumber American troops.

That adds up to $100 billion on contractors in Iraq since the invasion in 2003.
