On Friday at 4:43 pm this report, regarding conflicting accounts from a State Department official and his own brother, hit the news wires. The most interesting part of this article is that Krongard, the official in jeopardy, “had begun the hearing by denying the “ugly rumors” that his brother was associated with the company, which is under scrutiny for a September 16 shooting incident in Baghdad in which 17 Iraqis were killed.” According to the article he then took a break and came back into the same exact room and recused himself from the probes into Blackwater.
This is a clear example of a Public Official so used to doing things the Bush/GOP way that he didn’t even bother to check his facts before taking part in a hearing of this magnitude. I’ll say that again, this is a clear example of a Public Official so used to doing things the Bush/GOP way that he didn’t even bother to check his facts before taking part in a hearing of this magnitude.
Did it sink in?
