Wartime Contracting Commission shutters this week

The congressionally-chartered commission will shut down at the close of business on Friday after three years, 25 hearings, and eight reports to Congress.

The Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan is going dark tomorrow.

The congressionally-chartered commission will shut down at the close of business on Friday after three years, 25 hearings, and eight reports to Congress.

The Commission’s most recent — and final — report said that as much as $60 billion has been lost to waste and fraud on wartime contracts.

The final report’s recommendations are gaining traction on Capitol Hill, but Commission Co-Chair Christopher Shays says any further progress will have to come from the administration and congress.
