The Spirit Realm

Does not surprise me at all. This contract is a cash cow for the CoE- the more the contract costs, the more money that get funneled into the Corps. The thought that someone who has risen all the way through the civil service ranks suddenly become a poor duty performer worthy of being fired defies common sense. My guess is that her poor duty performance is her objection to the contracting methods being used. In my dealings with KBR and Corps of Engineers, they do not like anyone threatening their cash cow. I have seen military officers removed from their positions - wrongfully - for questioning KBR prices and recommending they not get work orders.

As I have said many times - this is not a political issue in the Democrat or Republican sense. It is purely political in the military culture sense.

Chutoi -

What she is alleging the government was doing was illegal and their actions in retaliation is also illegal. There is something called the Competition in Contracting Act. She was saying that ordering it to be a sole source is illegal. The actions by the military seem retalitory - hence the lawsuit. All provided for by federal law.
