Integrity and accountability
Congressional repubs fire auditor who uncovered corruption in Iraq.
This is unbelievable:
Investigations led by Stuart Bowen Jr. in Iraq have sent American occupation officials to jail on bribery and conspiracy charges, exposed disastrously poor construction work by well-connected companies like Halliburton, and discovered that the military did not properly track hundreds of thousands of weapons it shipped to Iraqi security forces.- m
And tucked away in a huge military authorization bill that [Preznit Integritude] signed two weeks ago is what some of Mr. Bowen’s supporters believe is his reward for repeatedly embarrassing the administration: a pink slip.
The order comes from the Republican side of the House Armed Services Committee over the objections of Democratic counterparts during a closed-door conference, and it has generated surprise and some outrage among lawmakers who say they had no idea it was in the final legislation.
