Claire McCaskill seems to have her finger on the pulse of America. She hasn’t made many visible mistakes and this is the kind of thing that she spearheads on a regular basis and gains national headlines for her efforts. Last March I predicted that she would be the next Democratic president of the United States of America and this only contributes to my case…
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri senator whose subcommittee is investigating potential contracting fraud at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday said the number of mislabeled graves there could be in the thousands.
An internal Army investigation found at least 211 discrepancies between burial maps and grave sites at Arlington. The review found lax management of the cemetery and a reliance onpaper records to manage the burial sites.
At a news conference Monday in Columbia, Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill said the number of burial site errors could be much higher because the Army report was limited to a small section of the cemetery.
McCaskill called the growing scandal a matter of “heartbreaking incompetence” and said the military has spent more than $5.5 million over seven years in its unsuccessful attempts to computerize the cemetery’s burial records.
