The inspector general said having security supervisors know about a pending mock attack would have revealed important details that would tip off the guards about what methods to help neutralize the assault.

"It's blatant cheating," said Peter Stockton of the Project on Government Oversight, a Washington-based watchdog group. "It doesn't say much for the integrity of the guard forces and some managers who knew this kind of thing was going on."

The article doesn't mention a single person who was responsible for the cheating, or a single person who has been disciplined for the cheating.
