A lot of people need a lot of money now that Katrina has devastated so many communities. Should it be the taxpayers' first priority to make a contractor at the shipyard whole? Money to Northrop means that it is not going to someone else who might need it. |
Clearly our priorities are perverse. Our government punishes the good guys and lets, in some cases, the really bad guys help run the show and set the agendas. |
He wasn't a bad guy, particularly, but he wasn't a good guy, either. You would have hoped someone in his position would have stopped it. |
He's a person who did not put the appearance of ethics above all else. That is not the way the government should function. These are the kind of things that make the general public distrust government. |
I am astounded. This is theoretically a fiscally conservative Republican Congress. I don't get it. |
If there is an attack on a nuclear plant with the weapons and tactics described -- weapons and tactics against which the Commission decided were not important to defend -- (the) records will reveal to the public exactly who ... dismissed the actual threats. |
Imagine the fraud we could see. |
In a time of war, we should not be wasting money on a junker which will not protect our troops. |
It is undeniable that unprecedented numbers of government whistleblowers face retaliation with no adequate protections. We are stunned that the Congress is offended to hear the truth about its failure to help whistleblowers and are even punishing their own seasoned researchers for talking about it. |
It was a bombshell for us when we saw what Time had done. We had always worried about a sloppy reporter, but I never thought there'd be a concerted decision made to turn over names. |
It was definitively proven that these very companies had knowingly been cheating on oil for years, if not decades. To ignore the likelihood that the same thing is happening on the gas side is absurd. |
James Lee Witt is giving his seal of approval to some companies, and I question whether that is appropriate as you leave government. He is lending his credibility as a public official to help companies advance in Washington. |
No one has proven themselves strong enough to tackle it. |
Nothing's gotten better. It keeps getting worse. |
Our concern is the exorbitant costs and how few fighters we get for the money. |
