OIG Spokesperson Acknowledges Complaint in Kane Case

OIG Mouthpiece Says Complaint Will be Confirmed in Writing...Finally!


Oct. 16-Anchorage, AK-After months of waiting to hear that the Office of the Inspector General had received a complaint about irregularities in the case and investigation of Rob Kane and Security Aviation, today bore some fruit.

"You will be receiving something in writing by investigations," said Cynthia Schnedar OIG media relations spokesperson and Counsellor to the Inspector General in the Washington D.C., Office of the Inspector General.

"Por Fin"-as my wife would say, finally some consistency in a world of lies and deceit. But, I won't be holding my breath for anything soon, based on previous promises. In fact my plan is to call every office of the OIG until someone has a slip of tongue.

Why this crusade, some are asking?

Well if it can happen to Rob Kane, who had worked for the U.S. Government, although in a "somewhat" darkly lit roll, a travesty could happen to anyone, including the President of the United States.

Lies by FBI agents, trumped up evidence, (Soviet Rocket launchers on an L-39...gimme a break dudes) this needs to stop, and cease now!

To make my case about this the OIG is right now investigating other cases of improprieties by the FBI.

The funny thing is that she made the exact same statement to me, " I will neither confirm or deny that an investigation is on going,"

Read this for more background from Wired:

"The Justice Department's Inspector General and the FBI are investigating an office that sent fake, emergency letters to telecoms requesting phone records, according to the Inspector Generals office. That office lacked the authority to request the records and did not apply for the subpoenas promised in the letters.That information largely confirms a a Wired News story from last week, which revealed that top FBI officials told privacy groups that a criminal investigation of the office was underway and that individuals had been granted immunity.If the investigation looks into possible criminal violations of fraud statutes or a violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, it would mark the first known investigation of government employees for violations of the Patriot Act.Cynthia Schnedar, the Counsel to the Inspector General, confirmed Thursday that a joint investigation was being conducted by the Inspector General and the FBI. She declined to specify if the investigation was criminal or administrative, saying the office's policy is not to characterize investigations.As to whether individuals in the Communications Analysis Unit had been granted immunity, Schnedar also declined to comment, saying "I can't talk about ongoing investigations."For the full Wired blog entry go to: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/07/inspector-gener.html
