A congressional committee has opened an investigation of the State Department's inspector general, alleging he blocked fraud investigations in Afghanistan and Iraq, including potential security lapses at the newly built U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
...
Ralph McNamara, the former deputy assistant inspector general for investigations, said in an Associated Press interview Tuesday that he came forward with the allegations against his former boss because he worried that State Department employees would be at risk when working in the new embassy.
"A rocket — an unexploded munition — went through a portion of a cement ceiling there, and it was supposed to be an area able to withstand a direct hit from a missile that did explode," said McNamara. He said investigators wanted to look into charges that the walls were not built to the required thickness or concrete consistency, but they were blocked from pursuing it.
U.S. workers, he said, "were putting their lives on the line and assuming that the facility they were going into was going to provide them all the protection they needed, and that's not true. ... With all these allegations coming in, we need to make sure these folks were being protected.
Because you know, protecting shitty work is more important than actually delivering things that save lives.
Does anyone have the schedule for upcoming Medal of Freedom ceremonies? I wonder which one Krongards will get his MoF at, because a team player like him is always rewarded by Beloved Leader.
