In what seems like a bizzare story out of an 11 year olds dream scenario, two sisters have been charged with billing the Pentagon millions of dollars to ship Priority items bound for Iraq.

The story will get headlines for the fact that these two sisters abused the system during wartime, and rightly so.  The bigger issue here is why was teh Pentagon asleep at the wheel to this extent and how many other similar fradulent cases exist.

The sisters were caught because they became reckless and bold, charging the military $980,000 to ship two $0.19 screws to the war front.  Read the article for more details.

The two twins will not be enjoying their next 20 years, however, as guests of another branch of government: Prisons and Corrections.
