Crimes
Harrison allegedly stole between $80,000 and $100,000 in funds from the U.S. governing administration in Iraq, using the money to install a deck and hot tub in her New Jersey home. She was the second United States Army officer and the fourth person charged in December 2005 for their involvement in fraudulent activities.
Harrison's responsibilities as an active duty officer were to develop contract solicitations and order contracts for the CPA's reconstruction efforts in the south central region of Iraq.

Famous quotes containing the word crimes:
“Therefore with idle hands and head I sit
In late December before the fire’s daze
Punished by crimes of which I would be quit.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Of all crimes the worst
Is to steal the glory
From the great and brave,
Even more accursed
Than to rob the grave.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The form of act or thought mattered nothing. The hymns of David, the plays of Shakespeare, the metaphysics of Descartes, the crimes of Borgia, the virtues of Antonine, the atheism of yesterday and the materialism of to-day, were all emanation of divine thought, doing their appointed work. It was the duty of the church to deal with them all, not as though they existed through a power hostile to the deity, but as instruments of the deity to work out his unrevealed ends.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
