Just go over and read it. This is a CLUB. A Private Club, where the discuss the affairs of the world with smug satisfaction. Look at the list of people on the right hand bar. Just to pick one, Dov Zakheim. This is the kind of criminal given status and prestige in the Foreign Policy Club.
Pentagon Fraud Chief Dov Zakheim goes to BoozAllen
by Uri Dowbenko
Rabbi Zakheim has left the Pentagon. Thank God.
After more than 20 years of presiding over more than $3 trillion worth of military fraud, Pentagon Comptroller Dov Zakheim has left the building. He will join Booz Allen Hamilton through the traditional revolving door for government-corporate insiders.
A former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense from 1985-1987 and Pentagon Comptroller since 2001, Zakheim was responsible for mismanaging more than $400 billion annually, as Pentagon discredited audits have persisted year after year.
The Department of Defense has never received a clean financial audit.
As recently as the December 18, 2003 audit by GAO (General Accounting Office), the Pentagon's 'War on Iraq Scam' and other Information Technology (IT) Fraud yielded $1.6 billion in "losses," money "missing" and otherwise unaccounted for.
In an article from "Government Executive" magazine ("Bye Bye Budgeteer," May 2004) Zakheim admitted, "...we are in the business of fighting wars. We are not in the business of balancing books."
If his position was Chief Financial Officer of a major corporation, Zakheim would be charged with criminal conspiracy, negligence and thousands of counts of fraud. As it is, he is joining the so-called private sector.
After all, privatizing government fraud through the control of accounting and IT systems in federal agencies is the most lucrative scam in America.
The US, after all, is One Nation Under Fraud.
Ask Rabbi Zakheim. He can tell you how it's done.
