Howard Krongard
From Wikiality
Howard J. "Cookie" Krongard is a dedicated supporter of the troops, working as the State Department's inspector general. He's also a close friend of Karl Rove
[edit] Duties
Howard has provided Vice President Cheney with superb advice on contract negotiations in Iraq by keeping Democrats away from the financial information.
One of Howard's jobs was to investigate Blackwater, which he did, not because his brother is on the board of Blackwater, but because he does a fine, fine job with any and every assignment he has ever been given.
Without giving a reason (he doesn't have to) "Cookie" recused himself from any further investigations concerning Blackwater.
[edit] NOTES
The inspectors general of government departments and agencies are intended to be independent and objective investigators of fraud and waste.
three major divisions of Krongard's office -- investigations, audits and inspections
from Waxman's letter:[2]
"your strong affinity with State Department leadership and your partisan political ties have led you to halt investigations, censor reports and refuse to cooperate with law enforcement agencies."
Krongard's actions have resulted in a "dysfunctional office environment in which you routinely berate and belittle personnel, show contempt for the abilities of career government professionals and cause the staff to fear coming to work."
And, after performing an investigation of Blackwater, he was unable to discover his that his brother was on their board
