Pentagon: Defense’s Whitewater Hire

The Bush administration has quietly installed a surprising figure in a high-level Pentagon post: L. Jean Lewis, the former federal fraud investigator who kicked up major controversy in the ’90s over her allegations about the Clintons’ Whitewater dealings.


ALTHOUGH THERE’S BEEN no public announcement of her return to government, Lewis has been given a $118,000-a-year job as chief of staff in the traditionally nonpartisan Defense Department’s inspector general office. With 1,240 employees and a budget of $160 million, this office is the largest of its kind in the government. It investigates fraud and audits Pentagon contracts, including the billions of dollars being awarded in Iraq to companies like Halliburton and Bechtel.

wonder what ugliness she's been up to since we last had to deal with her?

1. Never mind what she HAS been up to -- I'm far more worried
about what she's ABOUT to be up to. Looks to me like quashing and/or whitewashing any potential inspections into government contracts.

Like, say Halliburton and all its subsidiaries.
