I have always believed in the adage that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Agencies like USAID have been piggy banks for politicians pork projects and causes forever. I've been in public policy in Washington, DC> for 22 years. We know there is rampant fraud in the government, we know there is highly questionable spending, but we don't talk about it because nobody wants to upset a member of congress. Members of congress don't talk about it generally because of my aforementioned adage. Everyone benefits. It really takes the President and the administration to bring this stuff to light, you simply cannot depend on congers or the bureaucracy. Nobody wants to lose their jobs or get hammered down for making a stink.
