I wish they were this interested in house cleaning in the Defense Dept with the contractors. We have had civilians murdered by contract workers who were not properly vetted by contractor. They want to hold the Secret Service accountable for the felon contractor with a gun on the elevator with the President. They should be held accountable but I haven’t heard anything about the company being dismissed.

yup, blame somebody and make it look good. Just don’t go after the root cause and those responsible for it.
Sounds like the “We Didn’t Torture” routine and cheney says it is so, so prosecute those we told to do it and then it will look good as in “we got the culprits”.
When the light dims, go back to business as usual, go slow, spend less money and praise our veterans.
whistleblowers will be dealt with.

Once again, the WH hires a corporate hit man to initiate a witch hunt for public employees who struggle under budget cuts, sequestration, and a war machine that feeds more & more permanently disabled veterans into the VA system. Couple that with the congressionally mandated, UNATTAINABLE percentage requirements for service delivery and you have the perfect set-up for failure. Solution? Privatize & outsource services.
Obama & the R’s are enamored with public-private partnerships that do little but enrich contractors. Rather than increasing the VAs capacity for serving more patients by HIRING more staff & medical personnel the Obama administration followed the lead of the republicans and outsourced VA care.
