DHS Credibility On Line As Duke/Limo Co. Letter Surfaces

DHS RELEASES CUNNINGHAM LETTER
By Justin Rood - June 16, 2006, 6:35 PM

One day after an official swore under oath that the Department of Homeland Security had no record of a letter from Randy "Duke" Cunningham pushing her agency to do business with the scandal-linked Shirlington Limo company, the department reversed course and released the letter.

Here it is.

Republicans on the House Homeland Security committee went ballistic. "The Department of Homeland Security has a lot to explain," a press release quoted chairman Peter King (R-NY) as saying. "Despite repeated assurances to the contrary, it now turns out that the Department had the Cunningham letter all along. This is yet another example of DHS incompetence-and I think it may have been more than just bad record-keeping."

"This letter certainly puts the Department's credibility on the line, and raises further questions about political manipulation in the contracting process," the release quotes Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) as saying.

I bet they don't let him in the tree house!

I could be wrong, but this is probably the least of what went on with the duke and many other rethugs. For all their complaining about the dems. in the past, as soon as they got hold of the reins, they rode for the fences.
