A headliner that is definitely worth mention.
Stupidity of the day:
The government ultimately gave the whistleblowers $30,000 each after expenses, their share in a civil settlement against KEI. They say the sum was hardly worth their trouble.
Anyone see "Donnie Brasco"? This is just like that ending. The only difference is that the people in the end were trying to do the right thing for the sake of the country and were persistent at it to the end. Apparently, doing the right thing means getting nothing. All because Rumsfield did a stupid thing like take a piece of the WTC? Yes, thanks Rumsfield for your corpse robbing. Now thanks to you we can't indict the rest of the people with your mentality.
This article reminds me too much of FEMA's own issues. For an organization that relies on groups like these to help out, how the hell are they going to save their own country when they can't rat out on grafters like this?
Apparently, no one will take disaster relief serious anymore until they're the ones getting it shafted between their legs with a ten footer.
Edit: Boo, fixed the original problem.
