$20,000 bonus to official who agreed on nuke claim |
|
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=34042This is World Net Daily so take it with a grain of salt.A former Energy Department intelligence chief who agreed with the White House claim that Iraq had reconstituted its defunct nuclear-arms program was awarded a total of $20,500 in bonuses during the build-up to the war, WorldNetDaily has learned.
Thomas Rider, as acting director of Energy's intelligence office, overruled senior intelligence officers on his staff in voting for the position at a National Foreign Intelligence Board meeting at CIA headquarters last September.
...
Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham gave Rider a $13,000 performance bonus after the NIE report was released and just before the war, department sources say. He had received an additional $7,500 before the report.

"The tie between the Bush administration and oil is yesterday's news and quite out dated."
So was the Lewinsky thing. But you think that a RWer will quit bringing that up? No. (Picture John Belushi, after a rant . . . turns the word "no" into three syllables)

7. Monetary rewards are often awarded for outstanding service |

rendered to the nation. So what if his analyses/conclusions, which overroad the analyses/conclusions of senior intelligence officers, just happened to coincide with the PNAC vision, just happened to be music to the ears of his superiors.
