MORE GOP CORRUPTION

Rep. Duncan Hunter wants to eliminate the special Inspector General for Iraq! The IG was finding too many problems with Bush's war.

From the NYT:

Collins pushed through the Senate a measure that would allow the agency to review more than $6 billion in additional funding aimed at stabilizing Iraq -- in effect keeping the IG office in business.

But that provision, added to a major defense bill, was stripped from the final legislation when it was negotiated with Rep. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

The termination language was inserted into the bill by Congressional staff members working for Duncan Hunter, the California Republican who is the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and who declared on Monday that he plans to run for president in 2008.
