U.S. Attorney appeals to Congress to move faster on qui tam violations occurring in Iraq War
Alan Grayson is one of my heroes. He is a United States Qui Tam Attorney trying to get Congress to move faster on qui tam violations that are occurring in the Iraq War. Currently, the government has 60 days to review the disclosure statement as submitted by the Realtor. The courts can give the government more time, if the government asks for more time. However, with the Iraq War, there are a huge number of claims remaining under seal because the Bush Justice Department does not want to investigate them. Therefore, 60 days becomes 60 months.
The Bush administration talks tough about the war on terrorism, but it stalls when it comes to the war on fraud. In fact, it seems as though the current administration is trying to push the investigation of qui tam fraud so far back in the future, where no one will be paying attention.
