US Iraq watchdog agency under investigation (for hexes?)
The U.S. agency charged with investigating allegations of waste and fraud by contractors involved in rebuilding Iraq is itself the subject of four government probes, The Washington Post reported on Friday.
Employee allegations of overspending and mismanagement at the Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) prompted an examination of the agencies financial practices by the FBI and federal prosecutors, the Post said..
…Complaints obtained by the newspaper ranged from retaliatory firing of a whistle-blower to “sustained patterns of inappropriate behavior,” the Post said.
Current and former SIGIR employees have told investigators that Bowen’s deputy, Ginger Cruz, a self-described wiccan, threatened to put hexes on employees and made inappropriate sexual remarks.
The Post said Cruz denied making comments of a “sexual nature” and noted that she was cleared of wrongdoing by an internal SIGIR investigation.
