...Citizens Against Government Waste remind us that MCI should not be overlooked when we are squawking about Halliburton, KBR, Bechtel, et al.
Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today chastised federal agencies for granting waivers allowing MCI, formerly WorldCom, to continue to receive federal contracts, despite the fact the company was suspended by the General Services Administration (GSA) in July for lacking "the necessary internal controls and business ethics." "This is the wrong message to send to corporate America," CAGW President Tom Schatz said. "A company that committed the largest fraud in history ends up being punished on paper and not in reality. This contradictory action does not even amount to a slap on the wrist."
I better add a little background, although you probably haven't forgotten.
May 22, 2003: The Pentagon made an interesting choice when it hired a U.S. company to build a small wireless phone network in Iraq: MCI, aka WorldCom Inc., perpetrator of the biggest accounting fraud in American business and not exactly a big name in cellular service.
