(Associated Press) Bunnatine H. Greenhouse, who had been the Corps of Engineers' top procurement official since 1997 and publicly criticized the Pentagon's decision to award Halliburton Co. a no-bid contract for work in Iraq, has been demoted. "Her removal will send a message to all concerned that if they dare stand up to corrupting influences within the Army contracting world their careers will be destroyed," her attorney, Michael D. Kohn, wrote in the letter to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
Kris Kolesnik, executive director of the National Whistleblower Center, which is advising Greenhouse on contacts with members of Congress and the news media, said in an interview that Kohn was informed by the Pentagon's Inspector General's office that it is still preparing a report based on Greenhouse's allegations.
