60 minutes. All in the family

Description

Almost as soon as the last bomb was dropped over Iraq, the United States began the business of rebuilding the country. The U.S. will spend approximately $25 billion to repair Iraq by the end of next year. The earliest contracts were given to a few favored companies. And some of the biggest winners in the sweepstakes to rebuild Iraq have one thing in common: lots of very close friends in very high places. Correspondent Steve Kroft reports.
