re: #160 Targetpractice
Agreed. Apparently no one sought to verify any educational claims. Which means that no one did any verification at all. For companies accessing top secret (higher) clearances.
Seriously, if there are to be private firms in intelligence (which, sorry, I am completely against), they should be checking each other’s work in verifying clearances, background, etc. Outsourcing the background checks to the same firm who initially did it, well, fox, meet hen house.
