Profound Public Perfidy

J. Edgar Hoover ran the FBI in such a way that his agents, the G-men, were deemed to be beyond reproach. The truth of this was debatable, but though the FBI was Hoover's fiefdom and used for political purposes, the agents were mostly on the up and up. Today, a report emerged that FBI agents serving in Iraq billed the government (read taxpayer) $45,000 apiece in overtime for three(3) months work. They even had the gaul to bill the taxpayer for attending cocktail parties, calling it "liaison work". If this isn't criminal, it should be. How can these abuser of the public trust and squanderers of our money keep their jobs?
