ABC News is reporting that the Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security has lost his job after he filed a series of critical reports about the department’s management and security plans. In his year-end report, Clark Ervin alleged that millions of dollars have been wasted or are unaccounted for by the department. He also issued another report that the department had illegally paid Boeing an extra $50 million for one project. In other reports Ervin exposed severe lapses in airport security checkpoints and on how the country screened for nuclear materials at U.S. ports. Ervin said he wanted to continue working as the Inspector General but the Bush administration decided not to renew his contract. Danielle Brian, executive director of the Project on Government Oversight said “I think this was a voice that was a little too critical and made the administration a little too uncomfortable.”
