Lt. Col. Debra Harrison of the U.S. Army posed in front of her Trenton, New Jersey home on Wednesday, Nov 30th, 2005. Her recent home improvement project including a new hot tub and deck had been funded by money intended for a library in the holy city of Karbala and an Iraqi police academy.
Colonel Harrison was charged with taking cash brides of $80,000 to $100,000, a Cadillac Escalade, a trove of illegal weaponry and other items in connection to construction contracts in Iraq, where she received a bronze star. Lt. Col. Ruslan N. Miroshnichenko praised Colonel Harrison in his nomination letter, "......have the highest regard for their professionalism and very real ability to get things done. I have also witnessed at first hand how they built a strong and loyal team around them, and how they developed and managed that team. A team that has achieved excellent results in an often difficult environment."
Back home, Harrison works for the city of Trenton as an accountant.
