Katrina Speech: Corruption Whistleblowers Punished

FACT — BUSH ADMINISTRATION DEMOTED CORRUPTION WHISTLEBLOWER: The New York Times on Bunnatine Greenhouse’s reassignment: “A top Army contracting official who criticized a large, noncompetitive contract with the Halliburton Company for work in Iraq was demoted Saturday…” [New York Times, 8/29/05]

    Yes. Inspectors General like the Defense Department IG who just became CEO of the parent company of Blackwater — the ‘private security company’ now patrolling New Orleans. Good idea.

    Dumbya doing an ivestigation is like Maxwell Smart doing it.

    Missed it by that much!

    I saw how the senators voted on the independent investigation. Buzzflash has the link.

    All the Democrats voted yea, except for the one that didn’t vote.

    And, as you would expect ALL the repugs voted no, except the repugnican from LA that didn’t vote.

    No suprises there.

    Buzzflash also has a link to The New York Times article:

    NYT’s Brooks revealed that “from Day One,” the Bush White House “decided our public relations is not going to be honest” — why hasn’t he written about this?

    It is a good read with links.

    Also, Buzzflash has links to interviews of 2 survivors that said they heard a big boom after the hurricane had passed, and afterward St. Bernard’s Parrish began to flood. The head of St. Bernard’s Parrish gave an interview and also said he heard the big boom after the hurricane.

    Dumbya doesn’t want an ivestigation into 9/11 (’cause his brother Marvin’s company was in the twin towers 9/10 installing “security devices”. When Marvin’s nanny (not his, his childrens) threatend him about coming forward, she was crushed by her car in early October 2001. Google Bertha Champagne.

    P.S.: I knew chimpy would show up in a blue shirt, no tie and sleeves rolled up. They try to make sure people “think” he is busy. I will agree he is busy, but these days it is covering his ass.
