"Ethics Aide Disqualifies Himself"
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (AP) — The State Department official responsible for ensuring that the department operates ethically disqualified himself on Wednesday from any investigations related to Blackwater Worldwide after telling lawmakers that his brother was on the advisory board of Blackwater, the embattled security contractor.
Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said the admission was further evidence that the official, Howard J. Krongard, the department’s inspector general, had politicized his office and undermined inquiries concerning Blackwater. The company is the subject of several federal investigations related to its work in Iraq.
Mr. Krongard first told the committee that his brother, Alvin Krongard, had assured him several weeks ago that he had no connections to Blackwater. But after the committee returned from a break, he said he had just called his brother, who said he had attended a Blackwater strategic planning meeting this week.
Before the break, Democrats produced a July 26 letter from Blackwater inviting Alvin Krongard to join the advisory board."
How fucking incestuous Washington is. It disgusts me!
"State Dept. prober recuses himself in second Iraq case; Conflicts emerge in Blackwater, embassy inquiries" by Matthew Lee/Associated Press November 16, 2007
WASHINGTON - The State Department's top fraud investigator, who recused himself from probes into Blackwater Worldwide security contractors over conflict-of-interest charges, has relinquished even more authority but remains at his post, officials said yesterday.
In addition to removing himself from all queries related to Blackwater, Inspector General Howard Krongard has given up his role investigating corruption allegations involving the construction of the new US embassy in Baghdad, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
Despite the fact that he has now recused himself from the State Department's two main internal investigations in Iraq and has come under heavy pressure to resign, Krongard has not offered to step down and continues as the inspector general, McCormack told reporters.
Krongard told the committee when he was pressed to explain how he could have been unaware of the connection: "I'm not my brother's keeper."
That's a nice attitude for an inspector general, huh?
Actually, YOU ARE YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER, asshole!
The siblings are apparently not close. Alvin Krongard was widely quoted after the hearing as saying he had informed Howard of his connection to Blackwater but that they rarely speak.
That's a FUCKING LIE!
First he says his brother told him that he wasn't at Blackwater weeks ago, now he says they don't talk much?
I AM TIRED OF FUCKING BEING LIED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!
McCormack stressed that Krongard had acted properly."
What does some one have to do in this governent to be held accountable for anything?
What a SHITHOLE FUCKING GOVERNMENT!
IMPEACH THEM ALL!!!
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King [George] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."
BETTER START LISTENING TO US, SHITHEADS!!!!!
