Ah but this is a government employee and if you read my whole post you would see the argument that allows me the non partisan conclusion.

You want to argue about how federal employees (and this one doubtfully dealt with the public at large) get demoted on a daily basis or reprimanded, then that would be viable, but to quote just a fraction of my above post without acknowledging how I argued my conclusion is unfair to me. You take what I said out of context by erasing my whole argument.

P.S. I never said a word about Cheney or the adminstration btw. And from Elphaba's link it sounds like this lady had had problems accounting for sometime and that the Iraq War intensified the problems.

What she has to say should be heard and investigated by the GAO and independant auditors and see how much if any of what she is saying is true.

Otherwise to ignore it or to label it as anything else and not investigate, could cost taxpayers millions or billions, adding to the deficit and taking away money where it truly should go, such as proper armor, proper weaponry, education, pay raises, etc.
