Although corruptions is a huge problem, didn't the president just apoint someone to oversee all the money going to rebuild the affected areas? A solicitor general or someone.
President Bush appointed the Inspector General, who has a history in prosecuting White Collar crimes, to oversee that operation.

Corruption is a HUGE problem. The billions must be closely monitored.
