"Your "This Day In Government Contractor Abuses" comes via Spencer Ackerman, who flags this release from the U.S. Department of Justice: The United States has filed a lawsuit against Kaman Dayron Inc., alleging that the Orlando, Fla., defense contractor violated the False Claims Act by knowingly substituting non-conforming parts in fuzes (sophisticated ignition devices incorporating mechanical and/or electronic components) supplied to the military for use in "bunker buster" bombs, the Justice Department announced today. The suit was filed today in U.S. District Court in Orlando. The allegations relate to FMU-143 fuzes for use in hard target penetration warheads, colloquially referred to as "bunker buster" bombs. The government alleges that Kaman Dayron knowingly substituted non-conforming bellows motors for the specified parts in three lots of fuzes supplied to the military, and that the non-conforming parts could cause the fuzes to fire prematurely, creating a hazard for military personnel and causing misfires of the warheads. The military discovered the parts substitution and has quarantined the defective fuzes. It's a good thing that the Department of Justice is taking this matter seriously, given the extreme limitations of a Congress that only tends to give themselves broad oversight power over contractors by accident. Of course, the real bad news is that because these defective fuses weren't developed by the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, the media is likely to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the matter." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/09/just...

And to give credit where credit is due... "This case is being prosecuted as part of a National Procurement Fraud Initiative. In October 2006, the Deputy Attorney General announced the formation of a National Procurement Fraud Task Force designed to promote the early detection, identification, prevention, and prosecution of procurement fraud associated with the increase in government contracting activity for national security and other government programs." http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/unite... reeltime wrote: "Your "This Day In Government Contractor Abuses" comes via Spencer Ackerman, who flags this release from the U.S. Department of Justice: The United States has filed a lawsuit against Kaman Dayron Inc., alleging that the Orlando, Fla., defense contractor violated the False Claims Act by knowingly substituting non-conforming parts in fuzes (sophisticated ignition devices incorporating mechanical and/or electronic components) supplied to the military for use in "bunker buster" bombs, the Justice Department announced today.

no more hate wrote: We need to get these racists off the air, they are making all white america look racist Racists? Give me one example where racism was used by a conservative talk radio host. Do you even listen to talk radio or are you just regurgitating things that you hear from others on the left? Spend a little time listening before you play the race card.

At this point Lowden is just one of a few Republicans who will be vying to challenge Reid, but my experience here tells me that she must be considered to be the most threatening or Reeltime wouldn't be running the smear campaign already. http://www.fox5vegas.com/news/21170442/detail... reeltime wrote: Reid Challenger Feels Backlash After Questioning Assassination Attempt ...."The former chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party had emerged from the GOP pack of little-known Reid challengers to become the front-runner after a poll in late summer showed her leading Reid by 45 percent to 40 percent, with 15 percent undecided. But Lowden's boomlet burst when she appeared recently on a conservative radio talk show and snickered about the veracity of a 1981 incident in which a bomb was found under the Reid family's station wagon.".... ...."Lowden quickly sought to backtrack, publicly denying that she had laughed off the incident. But the damage had been done. When law enforcement corroborated the attempt on Reid's life, the Nevada senator was portrayed as a tough opponent of organized crime and his beauty queen opponent a frivolous distraction. "Here's some free advice," Smith wrote. "If you're looking for reasons to dislike Reid and blow up his politics, there are a thousand places for a conservative to start. But some things aren't a joke. And laughing at the wrong things makes you look more lightweight by the day."...." http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/11/09/reid-...

The self-styled "maverick" who put together the "gang of fourteen" to make sure that the Republican super-majority, filibuster-proof Congress would actually BE legislatively deadlocked in the first place? In one are, and one area only could you call McCain a "Bush clone...' he took time off the campaign trail to convince America that we needed to have an $800 billion bail-out package to save Goldman-Sachs and Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac. Oh, and that he's towed the party line for complete and total "free-trade" with every tin-pot third-world slave-wage hellhole endorsement that's crossed the legislative table during his tenure. McCian was the closest thing to a third-party candidate modern-day America understands... "legislative deadlock" is heralded as heroism at the ballot-box, and Palin/Jindal will probably win in 2012. Real men vote their conscience. PALIN/JINDAL! 2012..........
