(12,183 posts)... on YahooNews with a grain of salt and some cross-checking. However, I read the observer.com article and also found parts of it very informative.
Especially about the Office of Inspector General and what their actual function is:
to ferret out " 'internal' fraud, waste and illegalities." Doesn't an Acting State IG have exactly the same duties as the permanent State IG, with the understanding that it is a temporary position?
I have all kinds of questions about the IG position itself. Does the President appoint the Dept of State IG? Is that a position that has to be run thru the Senate for a vote? Did the Bush State IG agree to stay on as temporary State IG for the PO administration? Jeez Louise, my mind is exploding with a gazillion questions.
This whole thing has opened up a Pandora's Box. Like.... could we actually be seeing the END of the right wing of the Democratic Party before our eyes? It's a bigger scandal than Watergate ever thought about being.
