Their book: The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict
One week after President Bush rejected charges the war in Iraq has hurt the
US economy, a new book puts a conservative estimate of the war¹s cost at $3
trillion so far. In their first national broadcast interview upon their
book¹s publication, Nobel laureate and former chief World Bank economist,
Joseph Stiglitz, and co-author Linda Bilmes of Harvard University say the
Bush administration has repeatedly low-balled the cost of the war‹and even
kept a second set of records hidden from the American public.
