What is unfortunate about this is that this was shared with me by a top official in the Department, and now they are scrambling like crazy. They are probably watching this very broadcast and saying, ``Oh, my goodness, what will we do next?'' What they have done is purged their computers. They have canceled the orders. I think that is great, but they will try to hang one DOD staffer out to dry, cover the whole thing up, and claim the Secretary knew nothing about it and had nothing to do with it, and that this was strictly the idea, independently, of one person. I thank the whistleblowers in our Government.
