Copyrighted Image? DMCA | You're in the military. You blew the whistle. Something bad happened to your career. You ask your military service Inspector General or the big Department of Defense Inspector General (DoD IG) to investigate what you believe is reprisal. You're in good hands, right? Maybe not. Or at least there's some reason for concern. There are numerous problems with how investigators are handling these cases, according to a draft Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that POGO has obtained. (UPDATE: GAO has moved up the release of the final version of the report to today; the final version is now out. There may be differences between the draft and the final.) Perhaps the most concerning finding is that unclear guidance "has resulted in investigators closing cases prematurely," according to the draft. |
