Iraq corruption whistleblowers face penalties
Cases show fraud exposers have been vilified, fired, or detained for weeks
Quote:
One after another, the men and women who have stepped forward to report corruption in the massive effort to rebuild Iraq have been vilified, fired and demoted.
Or worse.
For daring to report illegal arms sales, Navy veteran Donald Vance says he was imprisoned by the American military in a security compound outside Baghdad and subjected to harsh interrogation methods.
Iraqi fraud whistleblowers fired, jailed, demoted
The fact that the US government has not gone after any of the fraud found by these whistleblowers or signed on to any of the suits filed against the companies bilking the US taxpayer is disgusting.
This story is far out of the range of the myth Americans have been spoon feed.
Even if they were to read it they know deep down inside to subconsciously ignore it because they know they are impotent and they are more comfortable with a myth rather then the reality.
A peasant/slave mentality. A surrender to indoctrination while maintaining the myth to themselves to avoid the consequences of freethinking.
Freethinking would mean to admit that as a whole and individually they have failed themselves and the responsibility of a free society of people.
Also then they would be challenged to act apon this truth and face realization of their cowardice.
Or persecution, isolation from the rest of society
and or imprisonment, assassination and torture.
It is a nessassary illusion. The war is not for god and country.
Stumble It!
