Background Checks, Homeland Security-Style

by | Jan 23, 2004 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee has asked the General Accounting Office to expand its probe of falsified credentials to include Pentagon employees after a surprising find at Homeland Security:

The probe began after Linda Callahan, a senior director in the Homeland Security Department’s chief information officer’s office, was put on paid leave over allegations that she had received her degrees from an organization in Wyoming that essentially sold diplomas and required little or no work. Homeland Security Department officials did not respond to inquiries on Thursday.

How about extending the probe to the White House? I hear there’s some subliterate over there who claims to have graduated Yale and Harvard. How could that be?
