What did he know that he was not supposed to?
"Top Air Force Official Dies in Apparent Suicide"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 — The second-highest-ranking member of the Air Force’s procurement office was found dead Sunday in an apparent suicide, Air Force and police officials said Monday.
The civilian official, Charles D. Riechers, 47, came under scrutiny by the Senate Armed Services Committee this month after reports that the Air Force had arranged for him to be paid about $13,400 a month by a private contractor, Commonwealth Research Institute, while he awaited clearance from the White House for his selection as principal deputy assistant secretary for acquisition. He was appointed to the job, which does not require Senate confirmation, in January.
Mr. Riechers had apparently killed himself by running his car’s engine in his enclosed garage.
A retired Air Force officer, Mr. Riechers (pronounced REE-kers) had a record of accomplishment in aviation and electronic warfare and had received commendations for his role as a manager in Pentagon purchasing."
[You gotta be kidding?
He "killed himself" over that?
Pfffffftttttt!!!!]
"Mr. Riechers had provided technical advice to the Air Force on several programs, including the use of bursts of microwaves as a crowd-control technique, employing remotely piloted craft in United States airspace and modernizing the C-130 transport plane."
[Is that why he was eliminated?
Did Mr. Reichers have something to do with the remote-controlled aircraft that were flown into buildings on 9/11?]
Update: AF acquisitions official apparently kills self
An Air Force internal communication announcing Riechers’ death said that the cause of death appeared to be suicide. The sheriff’s office is investigating the cause of death and could not confirm the appearance of a suicide."
[Huh! Imagine that, huh, readers?]
