Critic of Halliburton's No Bid Contracts Fired

LA Times: YET another example of Bush & Co KILLING THE MESSENGER: W/more than 20 yrs experience in govt procurement, Bunnatine Greenhouse had been the Army Corps of Engineers' top contracting officer until she was demoted to a lower-level staff position Saturday. The military says she was demoted for poor job performance, but Greenhouse's attorney says: "They went after her to destroy her" and added that the demotion was "absolutely" retaliation for her complaints about Halliburton when she testified before Congress in June/05. Since retaliation against employees for providing info to Congress is illegal and entirely unacceptable, Congressional Dems have demanded an investigation today into the demotion. I'm sure Bush will just throw this onto the mounting pile of investigations into his MANY and VARIED criminal activities... who knew a Gotti was in the WH?
