"A whistle-blower objected to the government's Halliburton deals-and says now she's paying for it. As the Corps's top contract specialist, the letter says, Greenhouse had noted reservations on dozens of procurement documents over seven years. But it was only after she took exception to the Halliburton deal that she was warned not to do so anymore. The letter states that the major general who admonished her, Robert Griffin, later admitted in a sworn statement that her comments on contracts had "caused trouble" for the Army and that, given the controversy surrounding the contract, it was "intolerable" and "had to stop." But Scott, the government acts with nothing but the highest morality - so this can't be true! After all, she was merely the Army Corps of Engineers top contract specialist, privy to all the details of the contract. What would she know? [sarcasm off]
