The Government Accountability Office has cranked out its list of "high risk" federal activities for 15 years. And every year, the Defense Department's supply chain management system has been on the list.
In fact, 14 or the 25 items on the list involve the Defense Department -- something Comptroller General David Walker called "unacceptable and should not be tolerated" during a Capitol Hill briefing.
Sen George Voinovich (R-OH) blames a "revolving door" between the Pentagon and the defense industry leading to cozy deals and big government contracts. He couples that with individual Congressmen watching out for military bases and contractors in their home districts. (WashPost)
