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.
