		The Coalition Provisional Authority may have paid salaries for thousands of nonexistent "ghost employees" in Iraqi ministries, issued unauthorized multimillion-dollar contracts, and provided little oversight of spending in possibly corrupt ministries, according to the report by Stuart Bowen Jr., the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction.
		The "auditors presume that the coalition could achieve a standard of budgetary transparency and execution which even peaceful Western nations would have trouble meeting within a year, especially in the midst of war," Bremer wrote.

		And the process continued as they began to staff CPA itself, where they wrote off not only State Department employees (considered disloyal because State had resisted the hawks over Iraq strategy) but also anyone who worked at NGO's (ideologically suspect) and those who had worked in Clinton's government (ditto).

		Yes, yes, the word “coalition” is in the name, but we assumed that was just window dressing, sort of like the Nicaraguans who were part of the “Coalition of the Willing.”
		But an underlying issue raised by Custer Battles during its trial and on appeal was whether bills submitted to the Coalition Provisional Authority could be regarded as bills presented to the United States government.
		The coalition authority was an entity created and largely financed by the United States to run Iraq, and largely staffed by American officials, but with an ambiguous legal status.

	Is the CPA a federal agency? - By Eric Umansky - Slate Magazine
		The Coalition Provisional Authority, Proconsul Paul Bremer's outfit, is in charge, of course.
		The confusion—which, the report notes, raises questions about "whether, and to what extent, CPA might be held accountable for its programs, activities, decisions, and expenditures"—stems from the White House, which hasn't released information delineating the CPA's authority, structure, or place in government.
		And there's another consequence: By not clearly defining the CPA specifically as a federal agency—the report notes that the administration repeatedly refers to the CPA as an "entity," "group," and "activities" but not as an "agency"—the CPA is not subject to the government's accountability and disclosure rules.
