MSNBC - Follow the Money: "Lawyers for the whistle-blowers point out, however, that President George W. Bush signed a 2003 law authorizing $18.7 billion to go to U.S. authorities in Iraq, including the CPA, 'as an entity of the United States government.' And several contracts with Custer Battles refer to the other party as 'the United States of America.' Pressure has been building on the administration to join the case-or at least to file a brief saying publicly if it believes defrauding the CPA is the same as defrauding the United States."
