Checks and Imbalances

Here is another story, by the FInancial Times, where it appears politics is getting in the way of our government trying to police itself. I’m probably more sensitive to this because of my dismay over the K-Street Project, the US Attorney’s firings, Alberto Gonzales and the general lack of accountability in Congress and our government in general.

In this case it is “chief internal watchdog” of the state department that seems to be getting in the way.

I want to avoid adding too much commentary in this blog but I think this is another reason why Americans need to demand more clarity and accountability in our government. Our system of checks and balances seems to be crumbling, slowly before us.
