Why people don’t trust Homeland Security efforts — or efforts to privatize more work done by the federal government — because you can’t trust them to police themselves, let alone us<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Senior investigators hired to root out fraud and corruption at Los Alamos National Laboratory have been fired — just days after revealing what they knew to officials with the Department of Energy’s inspector general.
\nArmed guards escorted Glenn Walp and Steven Doran out of their offices on Monday, a half-hour after Stan Busboom, director of security, informed the pair that they were not “suitable fit(s) for the requirements of (their) position(s)” at the lab’s Office of Security Inquiries.
\n[…] “Instead of being praised for what we did, we were constantly reminded that we were working for UC (University of California, which operates the lab for the Department of Energy) and that our goal should be protecting UC’s (management) contract,” Doran said.
\nAccording to Doran, on Sept. 19 he was brought into Busboom’s office and told that his “career would end” if “UC’s relationship with the FBI, inspector general or U.S. attorney suffered in any way.”<\/p>\n
