Wartime Contracting Panel Seals Records for Next 20 Years
Noel Brinkerhoff AllGov.com Tuesday, October 25, 2011 Established by Congress to investigate and expose government waste, the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan has decided to not reveal its volumes of materials to the public for another two decades.
