Sent you email. Sometimes I disagree with Scott Horton, who says DOJ is the most corrupt federal agency. I nominate DOI as at least close second!

Hey, why exactly were you pushed out of interior? That agency was notorious for violating the law — I'd love to hear more. Post or e-mail me about it, please.

If the new administration expects would-be whistleblowers to disclose violations of law and danger to public safety and national security, it should give immediate relief to the current whistleblowers who are enduring constant subtle retaliation while at their current job, resigned under duress, or were fired.

BushCo did the same thing in other agencies. I was pushed out of Interior for complying with the law in my position. Others previously in my position cited the same problems with management and were also driven out. the loyalists were promoted to higher positions, for which they were clearly unqualified. They now head regional offices, or are the agency chief.

I agree with Born Free, know-nothing ideologs can be weeded out by requiring adherance to performance plan, which includes complying with the nation's laws. Those who were illegal can be dropped for illegal acts. I hope federal attorneys can also be dropped for ethics violations.

Obama staff can review those recently seperated for no good cause, and rehire them. Put them in charge of the political hacks....Also, review those employees who are placed on administrative leave indefinitely (agency Siberia) for having too much ethics or ideological reasons. Reinstate them.

Bush set out to destroy the government, and did a pretty good job, really. His friends benefit and looks like he will get off free, grinning like a chimp all the way.
