I want names too, it is an insult to those of us who attended classes for 4 or 5 yrs, did tons of work with which we disagreed, and put up with longwinded Dem/Lib professors with an agenda...just to get a piece of paper that would let us do what we were qualified to do in the first place....YES, I want names, fraud charges, reimbursement of salaries and I want to know how they have impacted the job they took from someone who actually did the work to get there. Have they made critical mistakes because of a lack of expertise, thereby influencing important government decisions that we would object to? Were they appointed by Clinton or someone else based on that phony degree?

http://www.news-leader.com/today/0512-Taxpayersf-85774.html: According to the GAO report:
• Of 463 federal officials identified with bogus degrees, 257 are employed at the Department of Defense.
• The Energy Department had the second-largest number of employees with bogus degrees — 35. Next was the U.S. Postal Service, with 29, and the Department of Transportation, with 17. The report did not identify officials by name.
• Government officials who obtained bogus degrees included energy officials with "emergency operations responsibilities" and officials from the National Nuclear Security Administration with security clearances.
• GAO's inspector general reviewed its own employees and none was found to have fake degrees. "We're clean," said GAO spokesman Jeff Nelligan.
• A review of federal payments made to just two of 137 suspected diploma mills between July 2003 through February 2004 found that taxpayers paid $169,470 for fraudulent courses and degrees.
• Five of the diploma mills cited in the report took in at least $111 million in revenue between 1995 through 2000.
