Katrina audit shows fraud, abuse - Yahoo! News

Snippet:
"WASHINGTON - The Homeland Security Department wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars last year on iPods, dog booties, beer-making equipment and designer jackets, congressional investigators have concluded.
More than 100 laptop computers and a dozen boats also bought by Homeland Security employees are missing, the investigators found."

- COMMENT: We shudder to think! First we know about the rampant fraud = so very predictable... so when do we get our tax refund for that??!! BUT, scarier still is the missing gov't equipment - like the laptops which usually contain sensitive info/records. That should have already been a crucial concern for Homeland Security etc. See my other post about the gov't and its missing laptops and the thousands who are poss. still at risk after that. Can anyone remember 911? And, that America has worked very hard, and pays enormous amounts of money to be at war and to create new wars each day.
I know it’s so sad... read more here:
