Defense Department Inspector General's Report

   The Senate Armed Services Committee has been having hearings on the The Defense Department Inspector General's report (PDF) on the faulty intelligence which was used by the Bush clan to get the United States into a war in Iraq.

    The questions that are being asked need to go a little farther than they have been as the subject of Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith's role in the altering of the intelligence in question is not delving deep enough.

    Questions  about a meeting back in 2001 between two of Feith's  members and an Iranian arms dealer (Manucher Ghorbanifar), Iranian intelligence operatives, and the Italian intelligence service need to be asked and answered.

    There is plenty to be said on the hearings which are on-going, so if you want more insight than I can give you, visit HERE.

Alabama V.A. Hospital Missing Records On Hard Drive

   Another drive goes missing from a government institution! What a surprise this is.

   An Alabama VA hospital is missing a portable hard drive with info on it covering some 1.8 million veterans and doctors. The Department of Veterans Affairs says that personal and business information may be on the drive which has been missing for three weeks!

   It is nice if the VA to finally let these doctors and veterans know that they may no longer have any privacy when it comes to their medical circumstances.

AP   The hard drive may have contained Social Security numbers and other personal information from about 535,000 individuals and billing information on 1.3 million doctors nationwide, the VA said. That's more than 37 times more people than authorities initially believed were affected.

    Next thing you know, someone in the government will accidentally delete our social security numbers.
