Don't forget BUNNY! HALLIBURTON whistleblower may lose her job!

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON — In the world as Bunnatine Greenhouse sees it, people do the right thing. They stand up for the greater good and they speak up when things go wrong. She believes God has a purpose for each life and she prays every day for that purpose to be made evident. These days she is praying her heart out, because she is in a great deal of trouble.

Bunnatine “Bunny” Greenhouse is the Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting (“PARC” in the alphabet soup of military acronyms) in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Lest the title fool, she is responsible for awarding billions upon billions in taxpayers’ money to private companies hired to resurrect war-torn Iraq and to feed, clothe, shelter and do the laundry of American troops stationed there. She has rained a mighty storm upon herself for standing up, before members of Congress and live on C-SPAN to proclaim things are just not right in this staggeringly profitable business.

She has asked many questions: Why is Halliburton — a giant Texas firm that holds more than 50 percent of all rebuilding efforts in Iraq — getting billions in contracts without competitive bidding? Do the durations of those contracts make sense? Have there been violations of federal laws regulating how the government can spend its money? ...

Halliburton denies any wrongdoing. “These false allegations have been recycled in the media ad nauseam,” the company said in response to a list of e-mailed questions from The Associated Press. Now Bunny Greenhouse may lose her job _ and her reputation, which she spent a lifetime building. She is a black woman in a world of mostly white men; a 60-year-old workaholic who abides neither fools nor frauds. But she is out of her element in this fight, her former boss said....

They'd make her Queen of Walmart.

23. Ever notice that it mostly *IS* women who stand up to BushCo?

Bunny, Sybil, Cindy, Lila, Valerie...

Sure, there are some men, too, but the women outnumber them, by far.

8. She is terrific

I watched her in awe at that hearing on C Span. Wouldn't it be great to have her on Congress.

11. The Best ...

I've been blessed in my past to have work for and with women of similar good character. It's a pleasure to have a boss / co-worker who shows dedication to maintain the quality of their work, and who also genuinely cares about honesty and setting a good example. :hi:

She's the best ... a stellar role model for young girls and women.

12. Taxpayers need bunny

A government official who's actually looking out for the American people...what a concept! We have an incredibly smart woman trying to make sure that our money is being spent responsibly and her bosses are trying to force her out? Again..where is the media on this?

16. Thanks for posting this. The first time I heard of Bunny Greenhouse

was a few days before the election.

Her story just added more fuel to the fire.
More proof how fucked up this administration was, and continues to be.

But the voters didn't care. They didn't know her stand on abortion.

17. Go Bunny!

But don't fly in any small airplanes for the next few years.

We have too much Bush, not enough Bunny. We need more strong, honest women like Bunny.

18. Welcome to DU!

Good to have a fellow NHite with us!

[PinkyisBlue]

25. Welcome

Thank you. Yes, I've been living in NH for 12 years now (originally from MA). I volunteered for the Democratic Party last election, for the first time ever, and I was so proud that NHites did the right thing and went blue. NH has a lot of die-hard Republicans, but the tide may be turning (perhaps because of the influx of people from MA).

19. "She believes God has a purpose for each life..."

"... and she prays every day for that purpose to be made evident."

I'm praying that too, Bunny. Bless you.

20. What can we do to support her? Can we not encourage someone

up there in those ivory halls to protect this woman?
