Description (as provided by the original submitter)1. Appeared before? Wikileaks (today).
2. Importance? Violations of federal law are being ignored.
3. Audience? U.S. citizens, veterans groups, Congress, watchdog groups everywhere.
4. Verification? AFGE Local 1745, 512-326-6898.
5. Why leaked? Internal agency watchdogs are sleeping.
6. Urgency? Urgency is relative; should we tolerate a multi billion-dollar defense contractor profiteering off of veterans care dollars?
Contracting out of federal agencies is nothing new, except when a defense contractor oversees Veterans Affairs employees -- with the consent of the VA's Inspector General! Now Northrop-Grumman stockholders can enjoy a stake in creating AND caring for America's wounded and disabled veterans. Why let a handful of silly federal laws get in the way?
