Not a record to be proud of. The federal governmentâs crackdown on corrupt contracts for Iraq reconstruction has resulted in a record number of criminal and administrative cases last month, including the $10 million bribery case involving Army Maj. Gen. John Cockerman. Out of the 29 people convicted so far on shady Iraq contracts, seven were convicted in July. Pentagon auditors have questioned at least $4 billion worth of contracts thus far.
