I just checked and a bag of cement (not sure the weight) is $3.80 in Islamabad. Even if not an 80# bag, that's cheap. Labor costs are on the order of a couple bucks a day per person.

Dunno where the million buck went, but it ain't visible
Well, is in an expensive hood for many past government and military officials. I'm sure many other items were worked into the cost of the house, playstation, large screen TV's, services by ho's, probably a few cars,...you know how they have to play with the money.
