PEER reports that
more than a thousand whistleblower cases have been dumped
The U.S. Special Counsel has dismissed more than 1,000 whistleblower cases in the past year, according to a letter from the Bush-appointed Special Counsel released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). The Special Counsel appears to have taken action in very few, if any, of these cases and has yet to represent a single whistleblower in an employment case.
Does this mean that there is no waste, fraud or abuse in the federal government that deserves investigation? Do any conservatives out there believe this? I doubt it. Maybe they are quite happy with their tax dollars being wasted because those tax dollars are going to corporations that fund Bush.
