CBS NEWS: 9-11 Fraud/FBI silent

Documents Expose Sept. 11 Fraud

Report: Thefts Not Prosecuted After Government Discovered FBI Misdeeds
The disaster specialist was proud to dispatch replacement boots from the Long Island warehouse of a company paid by the government to manage rescue supplies donated by Americans. Then came the moment that crushed Christopherson's faith.

His employer dispatched trucks to the warehouse and loaded hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of donated bottled water, clothes, tools and generators to be moved to Minnesota in a plot to sell some for profit, according to government records and interviews.

Dan L'Allier said he witnessed 45 tons of the New York loot being unloaded in Minnesota at his company's headquarters. He and Christopherson complained to a company executive, but were ordered to keep quiet. They persisted, going instead to the FBI.

The two whistleblowers eventually lost their jobs, received death threats and were blackballed in the disaster relief industry. But they remained convinced their sacrifice was worth seeing justice done.

from the article..."At the heart of the KEI case was financial fraud," Heffelfinger said. "It was so bad we didn't need the theft."

i admit I am no legal expert but I have never heard of a prosecuter passing on adding extra charges against somebody.

and once again, whistleblowers get th eshaft and are encouraged ot just shut up. Just the way the cons want it.

There is a series of incidents in this administration's tenure where things are just left w/o any checks or balances, and when a problem is identified, they go out of their way to punish the people that are honest and conscientous enough to complain.
