Congress Shuts Down Iraq Auditor Office

I would call this outrageous but nothing surprises me anymore. It's like checks and balances are just being taken away.

Quote:
Investigations led by a Republican lawyer named Stuart W. Bowen Jr. in Iraq have sent American occupation officials to jail on bribery and conspiracy charges, exposed disastrously poor construction work by well-connected companies like Halliburton and Parsons, and discovered that the military did not properly track hundreds of thousands of weapons it shipped to Iraqi security forces.

Mr. Bowen’s office has inspected and audited taxpayer-financed projects like this prison in Nasiriya, Iraq.

And tucked away in a huge military authorization bill that President Bush signed two weeks ago is what some of Mr. Bowen’s supporters believe is his reward for repeatedly embarrassing the administration: a pink slip.

What can you say? For crying out loud, this guy seemed to be doing something useful and he gets canned. Rumsfeld screws up again and again and he gets a pat on the head.
