GSA Cutting Spending On audits

   Once again the GOP and the rest of the Crime Family are doing their best to cover up many of their illegal activities!

Washington Post :

The new chief of the U.S. General Services Administration is trying to limit the ability of the agency's inspector general to audit contracts for fraud or waste and has said oversight efforts are intimidating the workforce, according to government documents and interviews.

GSA Administrator Lurita Alexis Doan, a Bush political appointee and former government contractor, has proposed cutting $5 million in spending on audits and shifting some responsibility for contract reviews to small, private audit contractors.

Doan also has chided Inspector General Brian D. Miller for not going along with her attempts to streamline the agency's contracting efforts. . . .

Doan compared Miller and his staff to terrorists, according to a copy of the notes obtained by The Washington Post.

"There are two kinds of terrorism in the US: the external kind; and, internally, the IGs have terrorized the Regional Administrators," Doan said, according to the notes.

New Chairman Opposed The Iraq War

 Representative Silvestre Reyes, a Texas congressman, will be the next chairman of the House intelligence Committee.

    This should be pretty interesting for Bushco as Rep. Reyes opposed the Iraq war. This is one posting that Nancy Pelosi has done right thus far.

   From NYTimes :

But Mrs. Pelosi chose him....in part because he has repeatedly taken a more combative stance toward Bush administration policies like the invasion of Iraq, military tribunals for terrorist suspects, and the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program. MORE
