[Joanne98]

She's stealing money from State.. She's got a pretty slick little embezzlement scheme going on. Pissed off State Department Diplomats need to start BLOWING THE WHISTLE on her.

WASHINGTON - First, Americans endured exasperating delays and ruined vacations from passport processing backlogs. Now, a congressional investigation indicates they may have been overcharged, too — perhaps by more than $100 million a year.

Sens. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said the State Department and Postal Service quietly gouged U.S. citizens over the government's $97 passport fees, even as new anti-terrorism laws require more travelers to carry passports. They are asking the Bush administration for an accounting of where the passport profits go.

Over the past year, as the government issued nearly 14 million new passports, it collected at least $111.4 million more in passport fees than its stated costs, according to calculations by The Associated Press based on figures from State Department and congressional investigators.

1. Maybe Schumer can get his good buddy Mucasey to

prosecute her. Fat chance. :dem:

2. I don't know where that $111.4 million is, but it's a leap to assume...

...that Condoleeza Rice is personally using it.

3. This is absolute b.s., stealing from citizens via a rule/law they've

mandated. Why, there ought to be a law! :nuke:

4. She defiinitely is a liar and probably is a thief as well

but I don't see any indication that she may have personally profited from this passport ripoff scheme.

BTW I let my passport expire and had to re apply in a hurry last march and I had to pay the $60 fee for expediting the service.

6. What about ENRON???

Did anyone see any indication that Ken Lay and company were profiting off their scheme before the company went tits up?

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening!!!!!

5. She keeps company with criminal mobsters, never mind that

they legally cheat and steal. Of course the lying is part of the cheat. It stands to reason she would be one of them.

7. About two months ago didn't someone post this about cheney.

that what he does is siphon off 10% of each budget and take into to the vice presidents office use. WHAT the hell is he doing with the money. And why isn't he being stopped. I can't remember who posted it here or where they got it but it sure was telling.
